[GreenKeys] 5A Stock Ticker on eBay

[John Nagle]

     There's a Teletype 5A Stock Ticker on eBay.  $100, plus shipping.
This is the "high speed ticker" introduced in 1930.  It's
a 6-bit start-stop device. No shifts.

     Nobody seems to like 5A machines much.  They have their very own
code (see "http://www.prc68.com/I/WU5A.shtml"), they need a polar
input with unusual timing, they have a 1/8 HP motor that runs hot,
and they're rather ugly.  While a classic Edison ticker sells for
$10,000 to $20,000, this model sells for maybe $100.

     But if you want one...
