[GreenKeys] I bought a "Model 19" on eBay, and need some advice!

[Ralph Mowery]

The printer part is the same.  The 19  keyboard contains the  keys that are mechanically linked to the punch and counter unit.  The punch will not punch an incoming  message.  You need a separate reperf unit for that.  

The case is for a 19, but the keyboard you have is for the 15.  Either keyboard can be used in the unit you have.

Hi Jeff!, 


Thanks!... That's what I was thinking too, but every picture of a Model 19 I can find has a somewhat different base - one with a solid bottom under the keyboard - where the Model 15 doesn't. (I was referencing this video heavily, since I don't have the table and neither do they: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0y-sN_Qwso) 

 

Here's the link to what I bought: https://www.ebay.com/itm/175456296631, as you can see it has the cover for a 19, but the tty itself has the open base (which is now all broken up, sadly). And of course they are mismatched anyway - the base says western union and the cover says AN/FGC-9. I don't fully understand how the Model 19 perforator and counter connect to the base, and if those facilities are available on the normal 15 base like this one. I'll have to do some more digging through the documentation for some pictures to try to understand it better :). 

 

Take care, 

 

-Dan

A model 19 is actually a model 15 with other stuff mounted on a table. If you just got the TTY itself, that is a 15.

 

If you look at the 19 curious marc restored, notice it has a table with it.
