[GreenKeys] Model 28 wanted -- how about an M19?

[gil smith]

Hi Greg:

Well, I don't know about an M28-ASR for you, but there is a decent-looking
(and harder-to-find, I think) M19 (TT-7/FG) in Waltham, MA.  It's the later
style with the counter on the left.  On ebay, #1367137881 -- closes
tomorrow;  currently $10 and no bids.  This poor fellow has had this up
before, with no responses.  Be a shame to see it dumped.
