[GreenKeys] New to RTTY, looking for equipment

[Nick England]

And ask at your local ham club. Someone may have been active on RTTY long
ago and still have a dusty machine in the garage.

eBayers are hoping for some movie propmaster who doesn’t really care what
the price is.
I’ve rescued and given away probably a dozen machines - usually cost was
not much more than gas for travel. I’ve also found demodulators for $10-20
at hamfests.
Have Fun.
