Greenkeyers..

I went to the Paterson, NJ, warehouse again today. Here's some of my finds:

[stuff I brought home]

Gaskets for the Model 28KSR cabinet lid. New in the bag. I have at least
a dozen. Anyone need one?

Paper spindles for the Model 28...the metal ones. Have about 10.

Tape lids for the Model 14 TD, new. Have about 6.

Felt pads for the Model 15, new in a sealed package. Have 4 (there were
cases full of them).

Get this!!!  Auto CR/LF mod kits for the 32/33...new...have about 6. There
had to be 50-60 of them. [Adding this kit to a 32/33 is equivalent to
trying to perfume a pig...editorial comment]

Another "The New RTTY Handbook" by Byron Kretzman.

I found two power supplies for the Northern Radio Model 105 FSK
exciter. One followed me home...

If anyone wants any of the above, you can have it for the postage and
a small "gasoline" surcharge.

*********************************************************

There is a 32ASR TELEX machine in a sealed box...this is up for sale
with no bites, so far. I do not know the asking price...my guess is that it
is refurbished.

*********************************************************
Equipment seen and mentally cataloged (still there):

Wind-up tape winders for 3/8-inch tape(!). Dozens, new in the box.

3/8-inch tape, ungummed (so, it's still good). Bill wants $$ for the tape.
Contact me if you want his email address.

Model 28 tabletop units...poor shape....at least 6-7 of them.

Teletype tape printers (some beige ones with Western Union labels, others in
a Model 37-colored case). Jim Haynes knows about these beasts.
They appear to print on a 1-inch wide paper tape and use a typebox
similar to the 28/35 typebox. The typebox has fractions, leading me
to believe these were used as "stock tickers"....there has to be
over 100 of them!! Jim...are these five level or eight level? I will
grab one next  visit...they all look pretty ratty.

The "mod kit" that allows use of a Model 28 TD on a Model 14 slip mount.
Saw two of them, new, but without sheet metal.

Dozens of Siemens teleprinters with intergral punch and TD, along with
the matching art deco metal table.

Several Model 15's...some military, one RO. I did find one in the wooden
crate/table...it's still there.

On closer inspection, there seems to be two complete Model 28ASR's,
both with the auxiliary reperf. One of them has the "here is" assembly.

There is one complete Model 35ASR, another with some sheet metal missing.
And, there are two 35ASR cabinets with no innards.


********************************************************
REMEMBER....THIS STUFF (except for the 32ASR and 3/8 tape) IS FREE
FOR THE TAKING!!!!!  Sorry...I cannot ship any of the machinery.
