Hi

So what did Teletype use for solder?

I seem to recall that the pre-breakup Western Electric had a policy  
that at least 25% of anything they used would be purchased on the  
outside. There were exceptions to the rule but I kind of doubt that  
solder was special enough to get an exception.

The whole auction involved four people. The seller (with a bogus  
starting price). Two reasonable looking bidders who ran it up to prices  
that simply are not rational. Then along comes a one bid sniper who  
ends the whole thing and gets the other guys off the hook.

The pattern looks a *lot* like some of the model 33 auctions. Maybe  
they are buying the 33's for the solder in them ....

	Take Care!
