I'll take some more photos from inside once the sun drops a few more  
degrees and the shade covers the thing.  


Good news, there is very little rust, what looked like rust was the  result 
of being in a unheated shed in Eastern Washington desert for at least  15 
years, maybe more.


There is rust, for example the paper tape reader latch is now  brown.


A surprise is the switches next to the mode switch.
One is "Repeat Bid/Single Bid" One of the phones shows it


More story is there maybe a 2nd unit. The guy who got the teletype got it  
as part of removing the scrap from a lumber mill that is being raised and 
the  property cleaned up for sale. The shed was on the mill property as was 
full of  60s to 70s surplus 'stuff', he estimated a good 3-5 semi loads.


Anyway, when he picked this thing up, he said there was another one 'in  
parts'


This was about a month ago. If he has another contract to take his truck  
to where the mill is, he will check and see if it or anything still  exists.
