Subject: [RTTY] TTY Machine BSPs

Anyone out there still using/collecting mechanical TTY machines? 

While cleaning out the attic at my parent's house, I made a rare find; a
pile of AT&T Bell System Practices relating to mechanical TTY machines.
The stack is 8 X 11 and about six inches high. Condition is pretty good,
some dog eared, some pages unstapled, but no mildew or water stains.
They are in the 572, 573 and 574 "layers"; i.e. 572-XXX-YYY. They relate
to the Model 14, 15, 28, 32 and 33 machines and deal with adjustment,
lubrication, stunt box adjustment, description, etc. Also included are
two glossy advertising brochures from the TTY Corp for the Model 28
machine.

I will entertain the best offer for these BSPs and brochures. Buyer to
pay shipping/boxing (est weight 9 lbs) from zip 48335 (Ann Arbor, MI
area).

Clarification
One other thing also, before we get too far down the road- shame on me,
looking back, my original post may not have been completely clear. I did
not/ do not
mean to imply that these layers are complete; all items/topics in my
original post ARE there, but as a "mixed bag". I am pretty sure that the
entire
layers are not there, but have no way of knowing what a complete layer
contains. As I said, it is about a six inch high stack and I think a
complete set of all three layers may be a bigger stack.
Looking back, the "official" way to do it would have been to list each
practice, but I didn't have the time to write them down in the first
place nor to type them into the post- laziness got the best of me! I
just didn't feel like typing out all 98 individual BSP
numbers.

By my count, there are APPROXIMATELY 98 BSPs, plus or minus a few,
ranging from one page to 25 or 30 pages in length, and everything in
between. They are loose, in a pile, not in binders, condition as
previously described.
