[GreenKeys] Another Museum Piece-Parts Needed

[Duncan Brown]

John,

The M 14BA & BR tape printers with external Range control were typically 
used in telephone company TTY test boards, so that they could easily 
test for distortion on the line.

Do you have the full cast aluminum scale that is broken?  If not, I have 
some pictures of similar units that might help in reproducing the scale.

73, & have fun,
