[GreenKeys] Early Morkrum machine on eBay

[Nick England]

Hi John - I sold this machine at an AWA meet last weekend - will be
interesting to see how much more it brings on ebay  (I paid $5
originally I think) . Anyway - It didn't look like a factory keyboard
modification to me, but done in the field - why anyone would restrict
a Wheatstone punch to 1-9 is beyond me. I got it in at a Washington DC
area hamfest and IIRC it had "F.C.C." stamped on it somewhere, but
that didn't help solve any mysteries. Anyway, I hope whoever ends up
with it next enjoys it and finds out more.
