The Tandata  TD1600 was a Wiewdata Prestel system and was used for many applications and connected to the telephone system and television set.

The Tandata range of Viewdata products includes the Td 1400 series of remote-controlled units (with a hand-held infra-red keyboard with 54 keys), the desk-top Td 1600 series (with the larger, 73 key, multi-function keyboard), and compact terminals such as the Td 2600 series.

All models are designed to provide a visually attractive and user-friendly connection with the majority of Viewdata systems, including British Telecom's Prestel service. They can be used with a standard UHF television, or with a screen by means of Composite Video or RGB output (such as Tandata's range of 10-inch RGB monitors). In addition, data received can be passed to a printer, a cassette tape recorder or, through an RS232 interface, to various types of microcomputer.

Our machine is complete with power supply, manual and was very kindly donated by David McClelland of http://techspot.tv/
