   Somebody screwed up.  Teletypes are not on the U.S. Munitions List,
and do not need to be "demilitarized".  See

     http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/html/416021m1.htm

   The actual seller is the Tobyhanna U.S. Army Depot.

    There was a flap last year amongst the gun nuts when Government
Liquidation, Inc (not DoD) decided that all expended brass
cartridges had to be "de-milled".  The reloading community had
a cow.  See

    They got that reversed.

    There's a DoD unit which handles demil decision challenges. See

http://www.dlis.dla.mil/demil/demil_coding.asp

and look for "Demil challenge team".

    The main problem here is that it may be necessary to take all
42,000 pounds of stuff and sell off all that cable to a scrap
dealer.
