[GreenKeys] Other military Ratt/Teletype survivors

[Jeff G]

Just went through my pics and I found a couple pics - it was a
AN/UGC-143A(V). One of them I think had a ribbon still in it, and it looked
like that, thanks I'll check that out.(and maybe stash the ribbon in a safe
spot if they're hard to come by).
