Conventions

Make it a con they'll never forget

Let us set up our teletypes during your next shindig for guests to send text messages to and watch them print out in realtime. If using a tape printer, your attendees can keep the printed paper tape segments with their messages on them. We can enable certain keywords to trigger particular printed and/or text message responses if desired. Particularly popular with techy nerds.

Host a Retro Corner

Popular amongst both the older generations who grew up with them and the younger generations who wish they did, we can set up old computers or gaming consoles complete with games and controllers for the enjoyment of all ages.

If we don't currently have a particular system you're looking for, chances are we can source it, so don't be shy.

Art as a Service (AaaS)

We can also turn your convention/organization logo, mascot, and/or other designs into art pieces printed by teletype for attendees to keep or use any of our extant designs.

This uses a method similar to ASCII art to use letters and symbols in a sort of mosaic to make up a larger picture.

While some copies can be printed while guests watch in awe at the entrancing machinery in action, this type of art is time consuming to print (10 - 30 minutes per piece depending on complexity), so usually we will print out most of the expected number of pieces ahead of time.

Classy or techy ambiance

If what you seek is to have our machines as background accents adding to your overall ambience purely for their decorative utility, we have a number of beautiful mechanical wonders or retro computers that will blend in with your other decor whilst providing unparalleled flair.

Instant Telegraphic Messaging

We can set up any number of telegraph sounders to relay messages of your choice in American AKA Railroad Morse Code for your attendees to solve (it may drive your ham radio enthusiasts crazy since we don't use the more modern International Morse).

We can also set up a complete telegraph circuit with a key and sounder on either end of your event space for your people to play with and attempt to send messages across the room themselves.
