[GreenKeys] Re: Old Model 19 Teletype Machine

[Don Robert House]

Richard,

Please do not let the machine go to scrap!   Model 19s were built  
from 1939 to 1953. The Bell System and the U.S. Government were the  
main customers, with some also going to Western Union.

The machine is very heavy.  It should be moved in modules by someone  
who knows what they are doing.

The Classic Computer Museum in San Francisco area might be  
interested.  Also the Communications Museum in Seattle, Washington  
might be interested.  OR... The Communications Museum in Albuquerque,  
New Mexico.

Our museum may be taken over by the San Diego State University.  We  
are not sure yet.
