Steve,
The gray machines with square style keys are KLEINSCHMIDT machines.
One advantage of the KL machines is the bases are made of magnesium which makes them lighter
than Teletype equipment.  The downside is that parts are hard to come by.

I would very much like to buy one of those Navy R236B receivers.
