Anyone know which model of the ASR-33 (perhaps from a different company)
was sold in a portable case circa 1972, with one half containing the
teletype and the other half containing an acoustic modem? (No, I don't
mean the later T.I. Silent 700.)

There were some "portable" teletypes made for military use. They show
up on govliquidation.com from time to time. The name of the
manufacturer eludes me at the moment, but I believe they were
discussed on the list within the past few months.

Ah.. think I finally stumbled on the right military designation.

In particular, I've seen units like this one on govliquidation:

AN/UGC-something. And then their are AN/PGCs, AN/SGCs, and scads of
others. AN/UGC-74 is a fairly common type - heavy as hell, and sure to
have bad capacitors.

Yes, I have seen those as well. Those are actually AUTODIN terminals,
so the network history guys should be excitied.

AN/UGC-129 is a "tactical teletypewriter" that does BAUDOT and ASCII
at 45.5 to 2400 baud I believe.
Fair Radio used to have a few in stock but appear to be out now.

They were built by a company called Tracor and there used to be a guy
who worked there and had a web site with a bunch of photos of the people
who developed the unit. There were all sorts of ADM-3A terminals in
the photos too. Can't find it now though-- looks like it was taken down.
