[GreenKeys] RFT T-63 connected to twitter

[Vladimir Romanov]

I've bought STA-M67B (СТА-М67Б). Waiting for delivery from somewhere in Syberia. It's a clone of T-14 with Russian letters. Huge box weighting about 50 kg.

Besides the regular figures and letters (Latin alphabet), a 00000 ("Blank") would switch it to Cyrillic characters. It was produced by RFT in East Germany from the 1950s into the 1980s.
