Someone snap this up!!  Wish I was closer, this page printer (along with 
its reprerf) is a rare item!!

The TT-271 is similar to a TT-119, which is a delux TT-98.  Along with 
its reperf-transmitter, TT-272 (similar to TT-178), it comprised the 
AN/FGC-52X (similar to AN/FGC-25X).  This was the ASR of the 
Kleinschmidt line.  The printer keyboard had tab sets and could cut tape 
as fast as you could type.  There was a mini patch-panel on the back of 
the reperf (no screw terminals when you want to reconfigure).

The TT-271 can probably be  used alone, but whoever gets it should get 
the TT-272 also, so that you have the complete unit.

The main difference between the FGC-25X and the FGC-52X seems to be that 
the FGC-52X keyboard transmits  a 8.0 code (instead of 7.42) and the 
tape transmitter sends a 7.0 code. This difference is minor and should 
be completely compatible with all systems.

Someone buy this please!!  (If you don't want to keep it, you can always 
donate it to the AWA Museum!)

Look at all the pictures, looks to be standard keyboard (WX printer 
would have been a TT-188, -120, or -396, according to KLI catalog.)
