While looking for something else I came across this site:

http://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/gretag/720/index.htm

There are various other machines there, not all of them with internal pics of guts, but very interesting all the same. On this particular device I found the anti-tamper system very interesting:

Module cover detail: http://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/gretag/720/img/301821/020/full.jpg
(removal or destruction of the cover would result in detection and anti tamper action)
There's also a photosensor. They took it seriously.

Enjoy,

David

This one comes with its own scope: http://www.cryptomuseum.com/spy/r355/index.htm.

I just stumbled upon it by chance - see first post. If you are interested in tamper resistance stuff, there's a fair amount of teardowns on the internets:

That looks awesome! Expensive, specialized electronics is always fun to teardown!
I'm not saying we should kill all stupid people. I'm just saying that we should remove all product safety labels and let natural selection do its work.

I would be interested in how the random noise generator worked on the gretacoder 720. Built with 2 video amplifiers. Time to tinker, but need to research it first.
