   Well, judging from the pix, it's a Model 19 plus a Model 14 Typing 
Reperf in the big WU cabinet.

   Looks like the 'major players' are all there - including the synchronous 
motors - also the interesting "TU" looking piece of gear.

   You're missing a bunch of keytops - they come off easily and might still 
be lying around.

   The 'typing unit' , the one with the 'vanes' in the front , fits on the 
top of the piece with the keyboard and is locked down with three big 
thumbscrews. The other machine is the reperforator.

  The 'desireability factor' of this particular one for you depends on 
whther or not you want to take the time and effort to do a 
clean-up-and-restore on the machines...  it doesn't look near as bad as 
some I've seen, but it will need a Costco-sized bucket of TLC and a 
2-pound can of elbow grease, IMHO.  Of course I can't be there to try and 
gently turn things and see if it's stuck, or to see any damage that 
doesn't appear in the photos.

  I don't remember your original post, but if it's free, or 'cheap bux', 
then I'd at least take the guts, and leave the big cabinet - otherwise 
it's sure worth preserving, if only to eventually give it to someone else 
who wants to dig in and restore (and use ) the machine.


There's my 200 millidollars...


Cheers
