[GreenKeys] Kleinschmidt Equipment

[Duncan Brown]

Steve,

I was an Army-trained TTY repairman 1966-70.  Didn't see another TTY 
until i retired and became a volunteer at the Antique Wireless Assoc. 
Museum about 10 years ago and found that they had some TTYs that no one 
knew what to do with.

I don't own any TTY equipment myself, but I have been enlarging the 
Museum's collection and bring units home to work on occasionally. The 
oldest Kleinschmidt the Museum has is a c1915 Kleinschmidt Electric Co. 
Model 20A tape printer made for Western Union.   The Museum has TT-4s,. 
TT-98s, TT-76s, a TT-346 (RO reperf), and a  TT-123 (tape reader).  We 
also have an operational AN/GRC-46B and are working on restoring an 
AN/GRC-142.

I have been looking for an AN/FGC-25/52 and would have grabbed the one 
you got if it hadn't been so far away.  Good luck with it!
