[GreenKeys] Model 19 - Austin Texas...

Thu Jul 5 17:19:37 EDT 2018

If Steve is going on a road trip and there is somebody along his route who is interested in a restored and fully functional model 15KSR, I will throw the machine in his trailer (we live only 30 min apart).

I restored this particular machine about six months ago and she looks absolutely beautiful. I was going to keep this black beauty but I am running out of room. This 15KSR is in a too good of a shape to bring her back into the storage facility.

Of course, if someone else is interested in this machine, it's yours. But shipping will be a bit on the steep side.

I’ve also sent a message to the seller letting him know he has created quite a stir here on the GreenKeys list and that a trip to Austin may soon be in the works.

And as an aside, right in the middle of all our chatter today I got an email from another ham in Crawford, TX that was referred to me by a local acquaintance that I might be able to help him get a recently restored Model 19 working in his shack. So I may be making 2 port of calls in TX in the near future.

My wife says she’s ready for a road trip and we need to go get it even though we’re running out of room here.  Is that not a great wife?!!!  Jack, I think you remember Puddin.

Waiting on the response from seller here in Stone Mountain with the truck and trailer just about gassed up and ready to go.

And Virgil, what if I was able to drop a  M28 ASR off at your place.  I’m not even sure what it might need to get it restored.  Send me the name of the town in TX where you live.

I’ve written the seller to ask if modification was done for RTTY. I’ll let everyone know when he responds.

Interesting that the seller said it was last used for QSOs. QSOs over telex, or was it converted to RTTY? Might be worth checking.

I wish I had space. Like the rest of you, that’s a problem right now...

Hi all!

This fine example of a Model 19 Teletype set
as seen the on the Ebay listing is an exceptionally
rare version...

This is the Western Union Telex version,
Model 19, rarely seen...

On close examination of the main cover,
one can see the answerback (Here-is)
mech visible thru a round hole in a lift
up door...

This looks "Factory", and was probably
a special build for Western Union
by Teletype Corp'n...

This is the first Model 19 Telex version
I have ever seen...

I hope someone on Green keys can retrieve
this very rare example...

Even the table, is a "Telex" version of the standard
offering used on the 19 set...

The modification of the kbd itself, is difficult
enough for the removable version (KSR) kbd,
the 19 style keyboard wud be much harder
to install the ansback assembly...

I have done some research on the M15 keyboards
W.U. used for Telex service, they seemed to
favour one version to use over the others...

I was not able to find info whether
or not Teletype Corp'n built these modfified
kbd's for W.U.

There doesn't appear to be any info available
to confirm this...

Apparently, Western Union modified the kbd's
and typing units in their own shops...

This machine is an amazing find, and very unlikely
another will ever turn up...

I really hope it can find a new home with
someone on the list...

Cheers!
