[GreenKeys] Telephoto machines?

[Don Robert House K9TTY]

Robert,

The system was designed and built by the PHILCO Corporation.  The same company that built the Magnetic Anomaly Detection (MAD) gear for anti-submarine warfare. I used to be a maintenance specialist for MAD gear.

The complete TXC-1 is still at the San Diego Computer Museum at the San Diego State University Library.
If I remember correctly I think I sent the speaker back to you or sent you a replacement.

Of course the table was not there so we adapted a table to look similar to the original.
The special paper, and stylus are there also.  UPS broke one of the tubes in the power supply, but Glen Galati provided a replacement.

If anyone watches the opening of Clint Eastwood's "Flags of our Fathers" you will see the TXC-1 in action.
Your power supply for the machine has sort have been immortalized by the film.

Thanks again for all of your kind support.
Don
