WOW! That UGT-4 looks very cool! There appear to be something like nixie displays on the top. What is that for? Character counts or something?

Subject: [GreenKeys] Unusual Teletype machines available in Oklahoma City





There is an upcoming sale of some military Teletype machines.  The machines are located in Oklahoma City.  The sale is being conducted by Government Liquidation and it will be a sealed bid sale on the internet.

The first machine is an AN/FGC-69 teletypewriter set.  This machine has 3 typing units and 1 keyboard in a floor cabinet.  It is better known as a 'waterfall' set.
Here's how it is described in NAVELEX 0967-LP-104-0010:
Model 28 Multiple Page Printer Monitor Group. Consists of floor cabinet, 3 friction feed typing units, keyboard, 3 synchronous motors and gears for 45.5, 56.9 and 74.2 baud. 7.42 unit code, 60 Hz, 115VAC. Includes communication symbol arrangement, 3 paper winders and selective calling feature.

Here's the link to the sale:

The second machine is an AN/UGT-4 torn tape transmitter group.  It contains a total of 6 LXDs that are mounted on 2 bases.  
Here's how it is described in NAVELEX 0967-LP-104-0010:
Model 28 Low Level Torn Tape Transmitter Group.  Consists of floor cabinet, 2 bases,
2 synchronous motors, 6 transmitter distributors and gears for 75 baud.  7.00 unit code, 60 Hz, 115VAC.  Includes 3 numbering modules for tandem operation, MIL-STD-188B six volt polar interface and Teletype's TEMPEST feature.  CRITICOM type.

Here's the link to the sale:

The FGC-69 set appears to be used but mostly complete.  It is packed in a wooden crate and it is laying on its back side.  The UGT-4 appears to be in un-used condition.  It shows no signs of wear or use.

Again, the machines are located in the Oklahoma City area.  Too far for me.  I'm merely passing this information along.  I hope someone in the group can rescue these machines.
