[GreenKeys] Western Union 3A Transmitter

[Nick]

He Steve,

Like I said a few days ago here on the list:  if I see only very, very little wear and tear on an 100+ year old item and Phillips head screws, a red flag goes up immediately.

Again, I am not an expert, but I have the feeling that something is not right with that particular ebay item. Actually, I hope that I am wrong - would like to see more original old treasures coming down from dusty attics.

Seems the motor on the Ebay example is mounted toward the operator, while on Duncan's example it is mounted toward the rear.
This seems a little strange.

Nick & all,

Here is a picture of the AWA Museum's 3-A keyboard.

The label on top says:

I will be at the Charlotte, NC AWA & Crypto Convention  in a few weeks with a couple of boat anchor Teletype Corp Crypto units to display. Hope to see some Greenkeyers there!

Have fun,

Duncan

That is awesome Duncan. You should post a pic here - well, you probably already did in the past before I joined you guys here on the list.
