[GreenKeys] Teletype Model 15 Pull Bar?

[Bruce Phillips]

Hi Bill,

Thank you for the reply, and information. I plan on building a RTTY 
interface, and also a serial/usb interface for my machine. I'm a 
collector of sorts....radio's from 20's, Telegraph items, Early Edison 
stuff..... not a fanatic, but just enjoy learning, restoring and 
preserving the skills of talented people who have gone before us. I 
inherited a couple of SW wave receivers (an Eddystone, and a JRC) from 
my Grandfather (who was a radio operator in New Guinea in WWII), and I 
want to use them and explore any RTTY I can find....that's the plan anyway!

Thanks,

Bruce
