[GreenKeys] MITE variant TT-264/AG for aircraft restoration?

[Steve Garrison]

Last one I saw on board an aircraft was on a Navy C130 “listening post” on Kadena Air Base back in 1969.  I was the only AF teletype maintenance guy with a clearance high enough to work on the equipment on that plane and the Navy Ops folks couldn’t figure out what was wrong with their TT-264 and they had none of their maintenance folks on board the aircraft, so they had radioed Kadena tower to see if the AF could lend a hand.  I got real lucky that it turned out to be a relatively simple fix, because I had never trained on that equipment up to that point.

 

Can’t remember what I had for breakfast but can still remember things from AF days!

The folks restoring a P-3A Orion would like to find a TT-264/AG MITE teleprinter.

Any ideas? I have seen the UGC-40 shipboard version and TGC-14 tactical version every now and then but not the airborne version.

I'm not sure about the differences - vibration mounts?, case?, 400 Hz power? paper winder?
