[GreenKeys] Teletype M28 RO - Government surplus sale - Oklahoma City

[steveripper at comcast.net]

Look again, this is a sealed bid auction!!!! Min bid is $50. 

Also, Don is correct. What you see is not always what you get. Sometime much more and other times much less. If you don't see the TT-171C in the photos it may not be actually there. If you call the auction contact sometimes they will actually go look and let you know, but this does not happen very often.

Jerry, 
You are a great guy and this is grand information. I would only remind 
everyone that some of these lots can be rather large and heavy. If you 
do not have a large trailer to pick it up, the freight charges might 
be frightening. 

Best, 
Don

Greenkeyers: 

There is a Teletype M28 RO set available at a government auction in 
Oklahoma City. Here is the link: 
http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=5152329&convertTo=USD 
The machine is item no. 17. There is no picture of the Teletype 
machine. 

The machine is described as a TT-171C/UG (MK-1085/UG). The base is 
an LB4/161. The typing unit is an LP14WY/AJG which is a standard 
friction feed typer with ACRLF and non overline. The electrical service 
unit is an LESU7/147 and the motor is an LMU3. The cabinet is an 
LAC204BR237 which is a standard floor model gray cabinet. This is a 
standard Model 28 RO. The "MK-1085/UG" is the government designation 
for the 323804 low level modification kit. The TT-171C is a high level 
(meaning 60ma input) machine and it has apparently been modified to 
low level operation. Condition is shown as A1 which usually means 
that 
it is unused (possibly factory new) or that it has been through the 
depot. 

Bidding starts on 28 March and ends on 30 March. Award time is 31 
March. If you are not familiar with government auctions, you have to 
take everything in the lot even though you only want the Teletype 
machine. Starting bid is $50.00. 

The information presented here is from the bid offering and from other 
documents and databases that directly reference the item being offered. 

Good luck.
