[GreenKeys] Model BK23JX in Tarlton, Ohio

[Duncan Brown]

Charles,

That is a Teletype Corp. Model 15 machine.  It is a good basic machine 
to get started with. It was the "standard of the industry" from 1930 
into the 1960s.

But that one looks like it will need a lot of cleaning. Not worth $100, 
especially without seeing the insides. You can often find ones in better 
condition for $50 or less.

The table may be a very early Teletype Corp table.  It looks similar to 
the Model 12 table and has a cutout for the power & signal cords.

Keep watching for something a little better and closer. (the machine 
weighs over 100 pounds.)

Good luck,

Duncan
