The UGC-129(V)1 on eBay is an upgraded version of the one that Fair
Radio had.

The main differences between the 2 were the (V)1 had more memory and a
display so you could make sure that you were typing the correct thing
into memory.

Both models were considered portable because they had handles on the
sides but were mainly used (at least in the USAF) in mobile
communications vans.  They could be converted from RO to Send/Receive
by simply unscrewing two thumb screws on the front and pull the
keyboard off.  Other than that, the description from Fair Radio that
was quoted by Jeffery is pretty much dead on.

The power connector can be easily replaced with a salvaged power
connector from a computer power supply and a little sheet metal work.
I can provide pictures if wanted.
