[GreenKeys] Teletype spotted / MASH teletype...

[E.]

Hey all,

All of this talk about the Model 26 seen on M*A*S*H reminded me of something I mentioned earlier this year on this list about a Model 26 up for grabs on eBay… there could be some connection ;) .  Please see the forwarded messages below :) .  The link to it is still available here (for now - image also attached for comparison):
