FOR SALE: Omnigraph $200

Post by Canuk Phonographs »

A little project machine for someone interested in learning Morse code as this device was used for training telegraph operators.
I think/hope most of it except for the governor and the key wind is there.
Interested in trade for Victor external horn parts and projects.
Regards,
Blain

To learn more about these machines go to this website: http://www.telegraphkeys.com/pages/omnigraph.html

To see one working, watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWmsq4nU0Fo
Or this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbYjecrvuds

The one offered above is missing a few parts, mainly the governor and the winding key. The one pictured below is a complete machine.
