Greenkeyers,
Teletype fans may be found in many walks of life... my wife is a
newspaper reporter and I have met a number of them in that line of work.
One recently gave me an old UPI Model 19 system that had been taking
up room in his garage. It is similar to the one pictured in Kretzman's
"The New RTTY Handbook" - wood table, faux wood finish on printer cover,
un-cushioned keytops, etc. It is very dirty and in need of overhaul of
course, but the worst news is that the keyboard has been dropped or run
over by a truck. The keyboard casting is broken in many places, including
the punch mounts, leaving the punch hanging by its links. The character
counter is on the right side and its mounting bracket is broken.
Does anyone have one of these keyboards that they would like to part
with? I am in the Washington DC area.
Thanks, Ivan
