I recently picked up a couple deaf tty terminals[0] for free from a local junk shop. They have a bright green vfd display and print to a roll of thermal paper, they feature a big acoustic coupler on the top for a phone handset and have a nice physical keyboard. My plan is to record the tones for each letter, then rig up a pi as a serial-to-audio adapter with a cheap 'retro phone handset to 3.5mm plug' product that can easily be found for ~$10 in the usual places. I can leave the original hardware intact and have a fun terminal.
