[GreenKeys] Cloth Wire for TTY Re-Wiring

[greenkeys@mailman.qth.net]

A while back I remember seeing a query on the reflector 
asking if anyone knew where one might acquire colored, 
cloth-covered wire to maintain a look of authenticity on 
a TTY unit they were re-wiring. Forgot who posted the 
request, but I happened to stumble on a source. 

The 2002 Antique Electronic Supply catalog (phone: 800 
706-6789, fax 480 820-4643, e-mail www.tubesandmore.com) 
has a good assortment of covered wire in a variety of 
sizes and colors. The catalog is worth having on its 
own - a good book selection and lots of boatanchor 
replacement components. 

As of Saturday PM I finally got my Model 15 "project" 
fired up and copying quite well off the air. It took a 
couple of hours of operation for the parts to loosen up 
and print as designed. It still adds a space after every 
character, but I suspect that is a matter of an 
adjustment or freeing a remaining stuck part. Time to 
get the manual back out.

Anyway, hope the source of wire helps someone.
