I'll take some more photos from inside once the sun drops a few more
degrees and the shade covers the thing.
Good news, there is very little rust, what looked like rust was the result
of being in a unheated shed in Eastern Washington desert for at least 15
years, maybe more.
There is rust, for example the paper tape reader latch is now brown.
A surprise is the switches next to the mode switch.
One is "Repeat Bid/Single Bid" One of the phones shows it
More story is there maybe a 2nd unit. The guy who got the teletype got it
as part of removing the scrap from a lumber mill that is being raised and
the property cleaned up for sale. The shed was on the mill property as was
full of 60s to 70s surplus 'stuff', he estimated a good 3-5 semi loads.
Anyway, when he picked this thing up, he said there was another one 'in
parts'
This was about a month ago. If he has another contract to take his truck to
where the mill is, he will check and see if it or anything still exists.
