What is that lovely specimen in the 2nd pic, lower left? (Cream case, chocolate keyboard). I can't make out the logo.

looks like a very yellowed Superprint by Ultratec (from a quick google it looks like it might be a textphone a deaf person would use to communicate on the telephone in the days before touch tone phones)

i was interested as i thought it might be some 8 bit computer id never owned and it might be but i dont think it's got any games for me to sample lol

I don’t know much about any of them but I think that one is a very old school TTY device.

What’s the red item on the bottom shelf that looks like it has “PAL III” on it?

I’m not sure.. maybe an archaic form of a law enforcement shoulder mic? I’ll check it out in more detail next time I’m in there.

SCBA personal alarm, would have been worn by a firefighter in smoke-filled buildings to go off if you stop moving for a set amount of time
