Sagem SPE5-A Telex
Managed to make the deal of the year with a telex, very good state and well preserved.
telex model plate 
power supply (220 and 48V out) 
power supply model plate 
the SPE5-A with its power supply, on the right is the tape reader, punched tape get out on the left side
the brain of the telex 
still the brain but the other side 
hours counter I guess 
it was found as is, still not powered up, on bottom left is the tape puncher
left: the cylinder with the ident, right the same tape with ident 
was found as is, telex ident
I have managed to get some documentation about the SPE5 (non-A version), schematics seems a bit different unfortunately, but the manual about the principle of operation should be the same (all in French), I have backuped those files here: https://bits.sigpipe.me/Manuals/Sagem/
For now I am waiting on the order of capacitors to replace all the chemical ones in the power unit, and telex itself.
Here is the list I have gathered for the SPE5-A:
