[GreenKeys] more musings on teletype model 31s Western Union portable photo

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

this is one of the portable Teletype Model 31 units in Western Union  
portable case. 
(before we cleaned it up.) 

See the partial circle black type wheel thing above the paper tape in the  
printing position?
we need one of those type wheels as this one has a chunk missing.

also always looking for the rolls of gummed printing tape for these  units!
 
do you have one?  what is the S/N#   we are tying to get  an  idea  as to 
how many  were produced....

Question is though re: photo in this article....was this control/AFSK  unit 
issued to the military or just offered as a commercial item? If military  
there should be a manual we can get hold of that will provide a wealth of  
knowledge.
 

In the article it is clearly the commercial version of the Model 31 being  
shown...

another thing notice they mention this being a 20 mil loop on the  
commercial one... glad to learn that before I lit mine off... Our commercial  one 
belonged orig to John Sheets then George Hutchinson then us.
 

One thing of note... there was a large offering of these machines to  
HAMs... but since they were tape printers did not get as much love as the page  
printers... like the model 15 the good thing? these things are small enough  
they my be lodged under workbenches and in out of the way places still

at SMECC we are trying to figure out how many of these are still around  so 
If you have one or know of some one lets get a count..... drop note to 
_info at smecc.org_ (mailto:info at smecc.org)
