Wow, only made £0.99 on that? Maybe you should have had a slightly higher
reserve. Hopefully someone will get some good use out of it. I wonder
how many Hams are in the UK that use RTTY.


As that has a governed motor and the shape it is in I would not pay the
postage on it even if it was given to me. For the most part the
mechanical RTTY machines are almost worthless. I was given a nice model
28 machine last year by someone that had too many and needed a good home
for it.


I thought the interruptor/flywheel governor was a feature and should make
it more valuable since it can run on 50 or 60 Hz.
