Author	Topic: Apollo 12 EKG printout authenticity
Chuckster01 Member Posts: 873 From: Orlando, FL Registered: Jan 2014	posted 11-28-2017 06:30 PM Can anyone who has seen an authentic Apollo EKG print out give me your opinion on this one? It is supposed to be Apollo 12 launch time frame EKG but as I have never seen one before I have nothing to compare it to except the Apollo 8 EKG listed in an early post here on cS (and this does not match that format).

No reliable opinion on authenticity, though...
