[GreenKeys] Movie discussion...

[Jack]

Western Union Model 100’s were offloaded to Hams by WU in the late 60’s. I recall

going to a warehouse on Long Island to pick one out. A local Ham club was the

assigned “distributor”.  All machines were tabletop models. The one I got

worked fine. I’ve seen a few on Ebay over the years.

(BTW…one of the original Godzilla movies had Model 26 in it…)

Hi all!

 

This topic has generated a lot of interest tonite...

 

I think our good GK friend Wayne really deserves

today's "Kewpie Doll" prize...

 

He scored on two points, correctly identifying

both movie titles, and the teleprinter seen

in the film several times...

 

I wud never have guessed a W.U. model 100

teleprinter...

 

I was so sure it was a M12...

 

The W.U. model 100 is rarely discussed on this forum..

 

I know very little about it, I have heard they, W.U.,

had other later models of teleprinters...

 

It wud be nice to hear from some of our group

members if they have one of these machines,

and wud like to share some info about them!

 

Tks!

 

Ken
