[GreenKeys] WU Model 100 (was Movie discussion...)

[Pete Lancashire]

Does anyone have pictures ? I meet with a group that consists of Hams and
Ex Tektronix pepole and two of them remember having 105's. Seems a bunch of
them were made available to Hams in the Portland OR area.

The memory is those that stayed with RTTY as hams eventually "upgraded" and
dumped the 105's.
