[GreenKeys] Two eBay Novelties

[W2HX]

The second link is a ticker as Dave noted. It was used right after the glass domed tickers which could not keep up with the quotations during the crash of 29.  It is sometimes called the "black box" but was known as the 5A.  I own two of these. One of, which Mr TTY himself K0TTY/WA2WHJ got repaired and working for me. It is a 6-bit device.  Here is proof!

here are more photos and assorted "stuff" and some stuff related to the later, model 900 ticker.

WWII Navy Western Electric Model FRF Receiver Frequency Shift Ham For Teletype<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221370706399&fromMakeTrack=true>
This is an odd duck...Navy dual-channel I.F. demodulator with 170 shift, but preset at eight odd military frequencies, designed to interface with 1940 RBB/RBC battleship receivers.  There is stuff on the web if you search with the "CW-####" FRF numbers.  "Not for shipboard use", but the shipboard equivalent equipment seems to have been canceled.  Which would explain why this unit was never used.  I sent mail to the seller suggesting they list the associated teletype machine they still have crated up!  (That could be very interesting!)

This ticker is missing the motor (and other parts?)
