Hi Gents, I have a paper tape perforator (perf), probably made by Teletype
Corp,anda partly homebrew keyer/reader for the paper tape....both items for
sale. The perf comes with a solid cherry-wood cabinet with a built-in
powersupply and a place for the tape supply. It's very similar to what W1AW
used to use for bulletins and codepracticeback in the 40?-60's. I used it for
re-sending W1AW-issued bulletins. The perf comes with a fairly large supply of
2-level paper tape and amanual....you won't run out anytime soon!! The keyer
comes with two reels. If you live within driving distance of ~Kansas City, MO
you may havethe roll-around desk that the units are sitting on. I'd prefer not
to ship, but if I do the cost will be at least $100 morejustfor
packing/crating. The perf is heavy, but about the size of a smalltypewriter.
If you pick up the units, I have another perf that you may have for partsOR to
get it working. No photos have been taken yet but I can do so if there is any
seriousinterest in these units. I'm asking $750 for the two units but, as
mentioned, there will beother items available for free with the
sale.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now,
about the 3-gate (Multi-gate keyer) keyer. It was originally usedfor sending
TTYmessages from the Air Force's SAC HQ "underground" in Omaha.It has been
converted to send CW with standard 5-level paper tape.It can be used to send
either up to 3 messages or up to 6 messages.I used to use it for sending
contest exchanges. I might have themanual for it....not sure. The gates are
independently controlled by solenoids/clutch whichare remote controlled. The
unit's motor is equipped with "100-speed"gears. I'm pretty sure I have the
60-speed gears if you want to use itfor standard RTTY messaging. The unit
comes with a wood box that is usedfor sound control. If you have access to old
CQ mags, it's on the cover of the January, 1963issue with some info inside. I'm
asking $200 for it and the control unit. 73,Charlie, N0TT
