[Milsurplus] AN/UGC-136AX - WTD manual (and/or advice)

[Ray Fantini]

The Flaming Arrow Network used terminals that you would compose your messages off line and then send but somehow don’t think that terminal was used for that. Most of the stuff I have seen for FAN was video base and used ANSI protocol on the receive end but they have provisions for composition and formatting usually on the terminal itself.
Perhaps what you have there is a Navy variant of the AN/UGC-129? Looks a little heavier and maybe easy to service when compared to the UGC-129
Don’t know why but have seen lots of old Army and Airforce data processing equipment around but never see any of the Navy stuff? Would love to get my hands on one of the old AN/UYK systems but in all my years of collecting and scrounging have never seen one in private hands, got lots of old IBM, DEC and my Rolm NOVA 1602 up and running but never any Navy stuff.

The UGC-136 is a 1970s-80s dot-matrix teletypewriter used by the Navy.

I have gotten my eBay refugee receiving, but not transmitting yet.
I am baffled by the message composing/editing  functions,
If anyone used these and remembers anything, please let me know.
I really would like to find a manual and a ribbon cartridge.
Cheers,
