  • - Hey.

  • How can I help you? - Hi.

  • I've got a 1943 World War II Morse code decipher machine.

  • Wow.

  • You gotta realize, most of the World War II coding machines

  • were still illegal to have up to like, 10 years ago.

  • No, literally, you could go to prison for a long, long time

  • for having one.

  • Even World War II ones.

  • No one here in a black car followed you or anything,

  • did they?

  • No, I-- No.

  • I think I'm good.

  • It's a machine that they use, deciphering Morse code.

  • I got it from a friend of mine about a year ago,

  • and it's kind of cool, but money's cooler.

  • I'm going to ask $300 for it.

  • I'll take a little less, but not too much.

  • We'll have to see how that goes.

  • It's mega intriguing, OK?

  • Militaries have always used code.

  • Almost all the messages were used through telegraph,

  • and during World War II they were

  • really difficult to decode.

  • Sometimes we broke them, sometimes we didn't.

  • Code breaking was very, very important during World War II.

  • And if you screwed up in your Morse code just a little bit,

  • people could die.

  • So if it's what he says it is, I would

  • love to have this in my shop.

  • So do you know if it works?

  • It turns on.

  • I haven't run a tape through it, so--

  • There's obviously a lot of vacuum tubes, or something,

  • to make it this damn heavy.

  • Yes.

  • Yeah, it's extremely heavy.

  • That's World War II technology right there.

  • [laughter]

  • It's all here.

  • It's all the original wiring.

  • I like it.

  • So how much do you want for it?

  • Well, I was going to ask $300.

  • OK.

  • I want to call somebody up who will

  • tell me what the hell this is.

  • Oh-- works for me.

  • He would be impressed, and he will

  • know if you're going to prison or not,

  • so hang out like 15 minutes, all right?

  • This is the Super Enigma version

  • of a World War II decoder, or a really weird film projector.

  • I don't know.

  • Apparently you put something Morse code in,

  • and it beeps out the other end.

  • TG-34-A. This was one of the most

  • used types of Morse equipment that we had in World War II.

  • I did bring something down here that I

  • think will help you to understand

  • exactly what this is.

  • OK.

  • And that is-- secret code?

  • That is actually the tape that goes into this.

  • How the hell do you have that?

  • To be perfectly honest, this was in my garage.

  • So I figured I'd bring it down, so that you could see it.

  • OK.

  • Um-- yeah, you are just one weird guy.

  • [laughter]

  • But this would actually be on a reel like this,

  • and it would beep, either with dits or dots.

  • Dits or dots?

  • Dits or dots.

  • Dips are the short beeps, dots are the long beeps.

  • But most men who went into the service didn't know Morse code.

  • They had to be taught.

  • This is a training machine.

  • Oh, wow.

  • Um--

  • A machine like this was really important because one dit

  • or dot wrong, and you can completely

  • throw off battle, throw off a plan,

  • tell people to go to the wrong place.

  • So it was very important that you

  • were actually being trained to do it precisely

  • as you were hearing it.

  • So this was not used in the battlefield, obviously.

  • No.

  • This was used in the states, in a classroom setting.

  • Yes.

  • This is a training unit.

  • OK.

  • All right, well, thanks, man.

  • I know exactly what I have now.

  • All righty.

  • During World War II, Morse code was the common language

  • that could be used.

  • It's one of those codes that a lot of people know,

  • but in the military you had to be so exact that you had to go

  • back to school to learn it. - You know what?

  • It looks like it's in good shape.

  • I have no idea if I can sell it.

  • I'll give you $200.

  • I went online and did research it,

  • and tey're between $500 and $900

  • There's one guy in the world with a really big beard,

  • with the only tape for this thing,

  • and even he doesn't want. - $250?

  • $200 bucks, and I am taking a big shot whether I'm ever going

  • to sell this thing or not.

  • So if you want $200 bucks, I'll give you $200 bucks.

  • - All right. $200 bucks. - All right.

  • Sweet, man.

  • Thank you very much.

  • Yeah, just leave it here for now,

  • and I'll meet you right up front.

  • All right. Thank you.

  • When I found out it was a training tool,

  • I got disappointed.

  • Like, there goes the price, because it's not

  • out in the field, and all that.

  • But $200's a fair price.

  • That will give me some spending money here in Vegas,

  • and I can have some fun with that.

- Hey.
