[GreenKeys] Teletype - a message from another new subscriber

[Russmill47 at aol.com]

Hello my name is Russ Miller  WA3FRP and I live in the States  
(Pennsylvania).  While I have not been active in Teletype or RTTY for a  number of years, I 
recently retired and now I have an opportunity to spend time  with my hobbies.
 
I started in Teletype and RTTY while I was at the University of  Pennsylvania 
where I earned my degree in Electrical Engineering.  That was  back in the 
late 1960s at a time when I was also involved in contesting via the  station at 
Penn (W3ABT).  
 
After school, I worked for Western Union Telegraph Company for sixteen  years 
where I was responsible for Telex in the states of Delaware, New Jersey,  and 
Pennsylvania.
 
When commercial Telex was replaced by Fax in the 1980s, I moved to other  
companies and finally ending my career at Siemens.  
 
I joined this group to both share my knowledge (although it is a bit dated)  
and to look for a source for parts for my two Teletype Model 28 ASR.  Both  
are complete with a reperf under the dome.  One is geared for 45.45  baud.  The 
other has a three speed gear shift.  My parts needs and  interest is focused 
on parts for the stunt box selector.  Ten or fifteen  years ago I could find a 
few people in the States with parts.  It seems  that companies like 
Typetronics have moved to other areas of interest.  
 
Thanks for reading.
 
73,
