[GreenKeys] Interesting item on eBay web site item#753784730: 1980's Military teletypewriter AN/UGC-74v3

[wa2hwj@worldnet.att.net]

I recently saw one of these on the "Star Gate" TV show (it was on an alien planet...probably the planet where it was designed and built!!).
Seriously, it's not a bad machine, as long as you have a strong back.
