I recently purchased a working western union telefax transceiver, and I started to think, it works closely on the lines of a mechanical camera. I was wondering if there would be any way to convert this so I could hook it up to a televisor and whatever picture I would put on the desk fax, would appear in 32 line version on a televisor. Here are some pictures and specifications for one exactly like mine:
