[GreenKeys] Paper Tape Accessories

[Duncan Brown]

The TT-179 is pretty hard to find, and it needs the keyboard/pageprinter 
TT-117 (together the make up the AN/FGC-25) to go with it.  (I've been 
looking for an AN/FGC-25 for the AWA Museum for quite a while.)

The basic Kleinschmidt tape unit (and easier to find) is the TT-76 (aka 
AN/GGC-3). It consists of a reperforator, keyboard and tape reader.

Probably the easiest to find would be the Teletype M14 typing 
reperforator and M14 transmitter-distributor (tape reader).

Have fun,
