Wow, that's going to be tough, I think.   Harris / 
Radiation, Inc. model # TDMS-5EB *I think* had fox - in 
addition to several other patterns, and it was tubes (again 
- *I think*) - at least the CRT certainly was...  It 
certainly was no where near rack mount size though (tall and 
narrow - about 29 pounds).  IIRC besides the usual single 
character select (5 push button "bit" switches) - it had 
code wheels that "stepped" to generate messages - though I 
could be confusing functions with another test set we had.  
Unfortunately - other than a poor picture - I have little 
more info about the Harris - and equally unfortunately - I 
sold it in 1977.   Someone might have one sitting around, 
though - they sure were an interesting unit.

best regards...
