[GreenKeys] Era of TTY's

[George B. Hutchison]

I don't believe there were too many 28's in news service in the 60's.
Stick with the model 15.

15's were going strong for both UPI and AP into at least the early 70's
when Extels began to take the place of the 15's.  And the Extels were used
because teletype discontinued support of the 15. I think the AP got the
remaining 15 parts inventory from Teletype for a million dollars.

What say, Sheldon???

73,

George, W7KSJ
