[GreenKeys] Model 33 TWX with Card Dialer

[Comcast Paul0926]

I agree it might be a modem. I had a model 33 TWX machine with the modem in the pedestal. It was awesome. I had great hopes for that machine. I really liked it. Sadly the machine was destroyed by mice and could not be restored (even Wayne, with his magic, could not do it).

Perhaps this video is of interest:
