[GreenKeys] M19 Western Union Service...

[Kenneth Gartland]

Hi all!

This W.U. M19 is a very rare unit, especially
with the even harder to find reperf shelf...

If one looks closely at the photo
of the front cover, it has the specially
equipped front lift hatch to access
the "Here is" key, and line/local key...

I have never seen this access door with
the two cut outs like this one,
if it is custom made by Teletype Corp'n.
for W.U., I cudn't find it in my 15 parts books...

I have seen RCA M15's in mail box cabinets,
and the front access door has the "Here is"
opening...

This M19 was undoubtedly used on W.U.
Telex or TWX service...

It is sprocket feed equipped, indicating heavy
duty commercial service, looks like there is
a "Dialer Box" enclosure, but cudn't see if the
"Innards" were there...

The enclosure, wud pbly accomodate a UCC-9
dialer unit as used with the M32 on Telex svc.
making it ideal for i-Telex application

I suspect the typing unit may have a "Fractions"
type bar set, as used in business svc...

This is truly a great and rare find in this condition,
I hope one of you good 'ole boys will grab this!

Cheers!

Ken
