[GreenKeys] "Lorenz" teleprinter on eBay

[Teletypeparts]

I recall that when I was at WU and worked on some model 19's in Telex use we referred to the answer back mechanism as the Lorenz AB.  Hope this adds to the confusion.  LOL.

 Here's a real one:

I worked on and restored a T32Lo as a period machine to drive the Lorenz
Z42 cipher machine I also restored at Bletchley Park.  In fact the SZ42 is
urrently waiting for me to install a new mains transformer, which has
talled because my good friend Tony Sale (the guy who rebuilt Colossus) died
ome months ago quite suddenly.  Also this crucial WWII German cipher
achine not only uses Teletype selectors, but is assembled with US threaded
asterners, and the transformers are wound with British wire gauge enamelled
ire!  In fact one of the selector magnets was faulty, so I used a drop-in
eplacement from an old and sad model 14.
