[GreenKeys] Need a UGC-136 teleprinter (or 46) ?

Tue May 13 11:07:10 EDT 2025

The logistics of getting prepared and ready for loading for shipment 
would need to be known.  One pallet has been opened for photos, 
presumably. Best to contact the auctioneer and see if they can make 
recommendations. I'm sure this is routine for them. LTL shipment costs 
would depend on where the shipment goes. My guess less than $1000.00. 
There are also ways you can get indepenedent truckers to bid depending 
on where they are already headed and have available room.

I would be willing to contribute $100 toward the project. If there are 
no bids today, let's see where the minimum offer goes.
