[GreenKeys] Old Teletype on eBay - whatzit?

[Don Robert House]

Methinks it is a Model 20 Send Only unit for a press service.  That  
would explain why it is in Chicago where there were hundreds of Model  
20s and several press bureaus.

I never never try for anything on a Live Auction.  Too many emotional  
bidders and in addition it is hard to keep from having the seller ask  
others to put in shil (sp?) bids.

Hey Guys;

As I recall it is the equivalent of a "15SO" or "send only" unit.

When you had a room full of Teletype machines on different loops,
instead of having a keyboard on each one (15-KSR), you'd buy 15RO's and
you'd get one of these things and patch it into the loop you wanted
to send traffic on.

NOW

Who can explain to me about an AUCTION on eBay?

I thought eBay *WAS* an auction.

These guys not only want a 17.5% markup, but it looks like they
have nothing to do with shipping the unit.

The only thing similar to that is we have a place here that will
sell stuff on eBay for you and all they take is 10% from the
selling price.
