[GreenKeys] AN/UGC-129 Tactical typewriter

[John Poulton]

Well, as long as we're on the subject:  I have one of these machines
that needs a new home.  So, if you're *really* curious about them,
let me know--this one could become yours for very reasonable $$,
negotiable depending on pickup/shipping, trades, or a great story!
