    I've been contacted by the prop master for a TV production,
who's trying to get a WWII-vintage Teletype for their show.
They're on location in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

    He has a machine which appears to be the Lorenz version
of a Teletype Model 15. It has  the German-type four-row keyboard
on a five level machine.  It has a tape reader and punch
added on to a Model 15 mechanism, all crammed into a wooden
box.  But he can't make it run.

    Does anyone know how to contact anyone at the Museum
of Communications (Seattle) on short notice.  Especially
Stephen Jones, who got a Teletype going for some film
production?  Thanks.
