[GreenKeys] Model 12

[Doug Alderdice]

Here are a dozen photos of my Model 12 that I took back in 2006.  I have 
been struggling these many years to find the necessary Round-Tuits to 
get it running properly.  Since I took these photos I did rewire the 
table but it still remains non-operational.  I did have it running once 
when I first acquired it in the mid-90s, set up on the kitchen table and 
interconnected with a boatload of clip leads -- the table was in storage 
and was wired to a tube-type keyer -- and I was able to type locally on it.

Anyway, FWIW, my humble M-K Model 12:
