[GreenKeys] [AWA] We have this Model 31 Teletype and need the control box...

The second or third Model 15 I ever had was equipped with a holding magnet 
selector.  I'm not sure but think that it came from a surplus dealer in 
Shreveport, LA, who would likely have gotten it from Barksdale AFB.  I don't 
recall any decal, though.  Of course that would have been more than 45 years 
ago
