[GreenKeys] Two rare model 11 machines turned up in Finland!

Mon Nov 21 01:47:32 EST 2016

So it actually does print plain text, very neat.

I had no idea how rare these units were - finding a +pair+ intact is quite
the score, indeed!

Any sense if they were originally used as a pair, in a local loop, for
instance?
