[GreenKeys] Model 28 Parts

Fri, 20 Jun 2003 13:38:00 -0400

Does anyone out in Greenkey land know where I might obtain the 
unobtanium of unobtaniums, a 3 speed shift for a 28 ASR???
I also need a typing perf (the one I have is nontyping, and although I 
can read tape easily, it helps to see the printing ;-)
I would also like a typing reperf, as well as most of the "innards" such 
as the ESU, and a stunt box etc ( I don't have to list the stuff, you 
all know what it is ;-), if I should be so fortunate.. My 28 was used 
for TDD and was stripped out.  It also happens to be in WU livery 
instead of gray, but it is kind of growing on me now LOL> I am working 
to obtain same from a certain ship (listed below) which I was fortunate 
to be able to explore on 4 Dec and discovered all kinds of goodies that 
the idjits were unable to "demil" because they didn't know where the two 
buttons were to open the cover ( Thank the Lord for Idjits)..... I have 
no idea, at this point, if we are actually going to be able to save said 
ship from an ignominious end, but I did make a mental inventory of 
things Greenkey (Patch panels, partially demillled machines ( hammer to 
the keyboard, but no serious damage)  The CRIME was having to gaze upon 
4 R-1051's literally beaten to death by blunt force trauma, all the 
front panel controls similarly destroyed, and a myriad of comm 
switchpanels ( the 24 circuit kind) also beaten to death. There were 
also 6 URA-17's beaten, with the first hit thru the CRT :-(.  Now, 
fortunately, I have URA-17's and 2 R-1051's as well as a couple of  R 
390's and a 392, but the carnage was somewhat hard to endure on my visit.

We are pressing ahead, at least I am, with unending efforts to save her 
for a museum, which I plan to restore the comm areas to my time (1960's) 
but if the plans should go belly up, there is absolutely no reason why 
M28s should go down as well (hope is eternal).

Don House has been outstanding in finding equipment, and I, at least, 
plan to help out the NADCOMM museum regardless of the outcome of our 
efforts with the ship, but these particular parts are for my own shack, 
which, if nothing else, looks like maincomm of a well run ship.  

FYI, I  would be amenable to swapping perfs, if someone needs a 
non-typing critter, but that's not a heck of a lot.... I also need 
several polar relays ( type is not really important, I need one for a 
M14 ROTR, and the rest for general Greenkey use... Having been fortunate 
enough to get in with the Dovetron group, one of those should be 
arriving shortly, and thus I will be able to join the Clatternet bunch 
instead of using a computer.

I thank you for any help you can provide me here. Condx is really not an 
issue, as long as it can be made to operate, and all the big pieces are 
in their relatively proper positions,   as maintenance is a pleasure for 
this former repair dude

Again, if I have sent this request out previously, 73 es tnx much de
