[GreenKeys] What is your set up?

[Paul Wills (CKT&T)]

Since you asked,

My setup replicates what I discovered on the railroad back in 1977 just 
before the TTY system was retired forever.

The "source" is a homebrew loop converter that takes TTL from an IMSAI 
8080, RS-232 from a Windows 10 machine, and TTL from a Flesher TU-170.  
I use Heavy Metal for weather, news, test signals, etc and, once in a 
while when I feel like pulling out the TU-170, iTTY.

That comes as an incoming signal the Telegraph Line Terminal jacks 
located at the #9 Telegraph Testboard.

I then distribute it to several loops including a model 15 printer in 
the study,

A model 19 (the original wire chief's unit that came with the test 
board) with a model 14 non-typing reperf,

And a couple spare loops to feed equipment that I haven't figured out 
where to put yet including a model 28 and a model 15 tractor feed.  
There's also a model 14 printer buried somewhere.

I also have a few test sets such as a 911NA and a 161A1 that I fire up 
once in a while.
