The archives will show a message from me telling the details of my military
Model 31 - it's new and unused.  It has a 115 volt motor as I remember, and
uses 3/8 inch tape, also as I remember.  I do not remember the three gear sets,
but it may well have them.  Mine has not been run and I'll do a very careful
clean and lubrication before it does get run.  Mine came from the estate of a
retired Navy Commander who'd apparently been in communications and been an avid
RTTY-er.
