WU gave away truckloards of the Underwood TTY's in the 
late 60's. Many Ham clubs got them and distributed
them to local RTTY'ers. They are nice
machines, but not that rare. Parts were not
avaialble and they were fairly light duty
machines (like the Teletype Model 26). The
platen went back and forth in front of the type
basket and it often tore the paper (also a
Model 26 "feature").

WU also had a very similar "mailbox" machine
with a Model 15 inside. One of them was on
Ebay not too long ago.
