[GreenKeys] New here ... info on Teletype 31?

[Don Robert House]

If I find the photo of the one in the case I will send it to you.   
Compared to other Teletype equipment the 31 is very light.  I am  
guessing now as both of our 31s are in California, but about 20  
pounds with the outer carrying case, and about 15 pounds without the  
outer carrying case.

Anyone happen to know how much it weighed?  "Portable" is a relative

Don -- thanks for the photo.

The 31 was multi-functional.  In addition to military use, the  
machine was
also carried to sporting and other news events to transmit to  
newspapers.
The machine in the photo I sent to Evan is powered by 115vac  and has  
spare
sets of gears for operating at 60, 67, and 75 wpm.  Some of the  
machines had
semi-weatherproof carrying cases.  A few receive only M31s were used as
crypto printers.

Teletype Model 31 is TT-30/AGA-1, a 28VDC operated airborne set.  At  
least
one of the list members has one.
