[GreenKeys] Looking to Purchase/Rent Teletypewriter

[gil at baudot.net]

Hey folks:

Did they say what movie this was for?  I got a call months ago from
someone looking for a machine for filming Transformers-3.  

They wanted something that would be accurate for Kennedy's "hot-line" to
the Kremlin, which should be a 28ASR, as in:
http://jproc.ca/crypto/hotline.html

I offered to loan him one, but he never got back to me.

This Chicago filming could be the same movie, as I know that
Transformers-3 is shooting there (as reported by a family member who saw
a shoot going down in her office building).
