[GreenKeys] RE: Greenkeys M14 KTP

[Don Robert House]

What you have is a Western union Model 2B strip printer.  It uses  
5/16 inch wide gummed paper tape to make telegrams.
It was made by Morkrum-Kleinschmidt and is a Teletype Model 14  
Keyboard Tape Printer (14 KTP)
It will most likely work with your Model 15s.

Hi Everyone,

A local collector called me today and offered me a pair of teletype  
machines.  I'm looking for a "companion" to my Model 15 that I use at  
demos to show both ends of a teletype circuit.

Anyway, when I went to see the machine which I thought would be a  
page printer, it turned out to be something different.  It's a small  
Western Union monkey-vomit green machine.  Since I'm new into  
teletypes, I don't know what this is.  I think it's a Model 14 Typing  
Reperforator.  Can someone tell me what model this is and, is it  
"compatible" with a Model 15 if I wanted to connect them up to a  
local loop?  The guy has a pair of these.  Maybe I should pair 'em  
up?  Does it appear mostly complete (I think the can that covers the  
tape spool is missing and some of the key caps are missing).  Is the  
tape still available?
