[GreenKeys] Hurry..Hurry.. Hurry.. Step Right Up.. TWX M19 withTelephone!

[David Burns]

I guess the seller has been hearing from Greenkeys, then!

I too remarked to them that all the parts (with model numbers) added up 
to a M19, and suggested they 'brace [themselves] for the possibility 
that there would be no takers, at any price".

The seller was polite, but a little stiff.

Interesting info about the dataset...real transistors in there!
