[GreenKeys] Not Your Average M14 - eBay

[Til128 at aol.com]

Some time ago, I believe it was in the '70s that Tim Swarthout wrote an  
article in RTTY Journal about the RT sets and how to wire and operate  them.

While  the FRXD is not a very common machine, the cover is even
more uncommon. It  does have some parts missing.
The "right side" is basically a Model 14  reperf...the "left side"
is a TD with a "climbing head" that can read the  last character
punched on the reperf.

It is an FRXD.  One of the photos shows the  tag.  Compare it to this  
photo:

http://www.nadcomm.com/frxd.htm

The FRXD is the model  14/15-era predecessor of the model 28-RT.  The
mechanism on the left  of the photo is a transmitter-distributor with a
climbing head that reads  up to the last character punched.  These are
tape-relay units, not  crypto.

Nick has a You-Tube of the 28-RT in action  here:

The eBay one  looks like it is missing the sheet metal cover that should be
over the tape  reader on the left and the chad box on the lower right.

I have an NOS  FXRD with the matching table and might (not sure) have a 
spare
chad box if  someone on the list buys this.

This is an exceedingly curious bit of Teletype equipment as it  looks at
first glance as though it were a M14 reperf, but it has more than  one
station where tape is manipulated, in addition to what appears to be  5-bit
parallel electrical pickup on the far right front side...perhaps for  use in
encryption?  Anybody know  this?
