[GreenKeys] Needed) Info on 28ASR reperf

[Gregory W. Moore]

Good afternoon Greenkeyers,

I had to resend this msg, because the one I sent previously got rejected 
as "spam" from some filter program --hi--

Ok,. here's my dilemma.

I have a M28ASR which I am restoring to USN specs (it is currently in WU 
livery).  Now, in it's present configuration, it has
60wpm gearing, a non-printing perforator, and, of course, no underdome 
reperf.

I wish to add the complete underdome reperforator assembly.  I do have 
the reperf itself, the gearshifts for the reperf, but no other parts.  
If anyone out there has the mounting, the motor, the shaft and gearing 
for the underdome reperf, along with the wiring harness, please let me 
know.  I have several reperfs for trade, and also several reperf 
gearshifts for trade.

I also would like a printing perforator I I would be willing to trade 
the non-printing as part of the deal,  Now, in addition, I would like a 
set of 100 WPM gears for the mainshaft, because I realize that the 
gearshift asssemblies are basically unobtainium at this point.  The last 
two that I know of will be ignominiously sunk with the USS America later 
this month (there were 2 full up 28ASR;s in CIC, which I was suprised to 
see when the president of the Museum Foundation and I were aboard last 
year) but we were not allowed to salvage same... some gorilla had tried 
to "demil" the keyboard by hitting it with a hammer, but out of the two, 
I could have built at least one good kbd assembly...  They were the only 
two Teletypes aboard.... and frankly, I was suprised to see any at all.. 
considering the advances in the state of the art since my days of 
kicking the 28's of all flavors into submission back in the 
'60's.....Everything else was totally and hopelessly demilled...
I believe the innards weren't smashed because said gorilla didn't know 
how to get the lid open ;-).

If you want to know and have bitter tears fall,  2 R-1051's were totally 
smashed with sledge hammers to almost unrecognizability, along with 2 
URA-17's and the idjits used the point of a fire axe right thru the 
CRT's before smashing the rest.  All the switch panels were destroyed 
and the knobs and switch shafts broken off...


At the time we were aboard, we still had hopes of saving her for a 
museum, but alas, that was not to be, so, the 28ASR will now reside in 
my shack, and copy RATT with my Dovetron and my TTY-Connect the way it 
was meant to... I do, however
want to fit it out with the underdome reperf, so if anyone can help me 
out finding the parts (tape reel, mounts, motor, etc, I would be greatly 
appreciative...

Incidentally, I want to thank Don House for his generosity for the TDA.  
That, too will be used as intended in the ham shack, which , in it's own 
way, will now become the Greenkey museum instead of the USS America...

73 es tnx
