The only TTY equipment I saw at the first round was the FGQ-2 and they
wanted $250 for it (based on an arbitrary search the sale lady did on
her phone, where she actually found a Navy teletype unit unsold on
ebay and based it on that).  All the other stuff was uncovered in the
attic for Round 2.

I knew you guys would find more info on it than I could.  Also, the
manual was on the ground floor of the house when I was there.  I told
them to put it down by the FGQ in the basement.  Hopefully they found
each other.

Is anyone from the list going?  I'm wavering on whether to try
tomorrow.  Unfortunately Saturday is not an option for me, and that's
when they're more likely to drop prices.
