[MRCG] the TG-34

[Marc Goldman]

Gentleman:

A few weeks back on TV  on the Pawn Stars TV program.. some guy brings in a TG-34.. and says it is some secret crypto decoder... it was in really clean shape...  it might of even had some paper tapes..   but all it is ... is a training aid for students learning Morse Code.. not even close to an Enigma machine...   well  some consultant guy comes in and recognizes what it is..   and the pawn shop still gives him a good bit more than it is worth at a ham radio swap meet...  which i thought was amusing...  these aught to sell for like $25

now has anyone ever seen an inker  unit for making  tapes from blank  paper?..I have never seen one of those, which should be a rare valuable item.. 
I might of mentioned this before..   but TG-34 came up in the conversation ..   also there is one on display at a mini museum at Hollister airport in one of the hangars.... 


I did copy some of the Clatternet here last week..  using modern equipment...  got reasonably good copy.. considering HF and no error correction and all that...
