Hi

A lot depends on what you have sitting in the garage. About mid day 
yesterday there was a post from a regular here on the list about 
hauling 20+ model 28 typing units to the dump. No way to ship them and 
not enough people interested in driving over to haul them away. A lot 
of this stuff gets disposed of on a "looking for a good home" basis 
unless it's pretty unusual.

Electronics seems to sell better than the mechanical side. Dovetrons 
for instance still seem to hold some value. Some of the fancier 
military FSK demodulators sell well.  Model 14's and 15's seem to drop 
down to the low end of the price scale pretty fast. Model 33's seem to 
do ok if you can document the fact that Bill Gates used the one you 
have for sale. New in the unopened shipping crate skintight 28's also 
seem to be worth a bit more than they cost to ship.

One thing that is a worry is parts. A number of people have boxes and 
boxes of nice new brown envelopes with Skokie Illinois stamped on them 
along with a Teletype part number. Simply inventorying all of them is 
major undertaking. Finding a specific part number when you have one 
break will get harder as time goes on. I'm not sure I know what the 
solution to the problem is. You only want to pay for a part when you 
have one break. Until then they just take up a lot of room .....

	Take Care!
