[GreenKeys] UPI Retype

[Mike]

You're right Nick. No I would never re-create something like that and try to pass it off as original - especially try to sell it. I was just commenting on how easy it would be to do and wondered how one could verify the authenticity of the ones on Ebay and such.I believe the term is "provenance".Mike

I bet that goes for anyone with a working teletype in the last 20 years. It’s possible someone with access to a machine retyped one of these news bulletins in the 1970s-80s, but these days I imagine that no one but us greenkeyer types have a working machine. We may be crazies, but we are honorable crazies.

I could type something like that out on my 28 with the canary paper, maybe some worn out faded ribbon, and it would probably look pretty original. Mike-- Nick England K4NYWwww.navy-radio.com
