[GreenKeys] Western Union 103 Teleprinter

[Hugh Pyle]

I've come across a Western Union "Teleprinter 103" in moderately rough
condition, with a few missing keys.  The cabinet is very rusty, and the
typing unit looks gunky and dusty but relatively workable.

This article has some commentary (
https://archive.org/details/TheDeafAmerican226February1970/page/n20/mode/1up
),
"Model 103 comes from the family of Model 100s made by the Teletype
Corporation some years before the Model 15s came into existence. The units
of Model 100s are very similar with respect to each other and will be
designated thereafter as Model 103 in this article for brevity... The Model
103s mechanics is quite different from that of a 15 since its type bars are
stationary while the paper roller is moved from left to right as the
machine prints. The keyboard of a Model 103 is a delight and is the
lightest to the touch of any of the teletypewriter models described in this
series. For this reason many people prefer the Model 103 unit over any
other model in spite of its age".

Does anyone have more information on the Model 103 unit?
And, any suggestions on parts sources?
