[GreenKeys] Was someone looking for a Desk-Fax machine?

[Peter Gottlieb]

When I was in High School the WU office in White Plains used to give us the 
machines they took out of service.  I would have liked to have been in on the 
dismantling of their old building which had the telefax "concentrator," which 
was all scrapped, but missed that by months.  The people at that little 
switching office were very friendly to us kids into electronics and teletype.  
Essentially anything destined for scrap was available to us, and they once gave 
me an old ASR33 and then helped me fix it up and make it work (which I went on 
to use on the dial-up timesharing computer systems at school and college).  One 
time they called me to tell me they had a mountain of stuff and it took me 
several station wagon loads to clear their place out.  Fun times!
