[GreenKeys] Need a UGC-136 teleprinter (or 46) ?

[Nick England]

Three things to consider.
Heavy to ship
No 45 baud
No ribbon cartridges available except what might be in the printers
already. I can supply one for someone to 3D model/print.

Two years ago I gave a USN supply officer a batch of used ribbons to re-ink
for the missile subs still using UGC-136.

That said, they are beautiful machines and it would be a shame for them to
get scrapped.

I’d be happy to get another.
