[GreenKeys] AN/FGC-1

This is a bit of a stretch...but I would like to
know if anyone on the Greenkeys list has one of the
Western Electric AN/FGC-1 Teletype terminals, or
knows where one might be. It
takes up about 7 feet of vertical real estate and
probably weighs 300 lbs., plus. I have the manuals for
this beast and it is a very simple design, even though
WE built it to take a direct nuclear hit (as they did
everything in the late 40's and early 50's).
Byron, W2JTP, had one in the old days, but I have
never heard of anyone else having one. It looks 
like the design was the basis for a lot of the
original Ham terminal units.
If I can't find one, I'll have to start looking for a
lot of 6SJ7 and 6SN7 tubes and build my own!!!
