[Milsurplus] AN/VSC-2 teletype

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

Greenkeys is very much alive and well these days. It’s at least as active as this list. No idea why they 
would not “accept” anybody or everybody who tried to join. They ….errr … allowed me in :)

I found a new home for the TTY gear. If they are still active you should try again. While I was a member I found them very supportive. It may be they are no longer active. Or maybe just s l  o  w.

Will be pulling the MD-522A today and cleaning that up and looking for all the cables and the one cable I appear to need now is the data cable for the back of the UGC-74 that’s a type MS3112E 16-23 P connector. I can build the rest. I am also somewhat befuddled by what to do about the printer ribbon.Anyone have any experience with dumping ink on these things?
