I agree, Fred is a super guy and has been real supportive of anyone who  
needs Teletype parts or documentation. He dug out and made copies for me of the  
instructions for the FRXD and with that info and a little control box, I got it 
 working. He did not have a cabinet or cover for it however, but if he did, 
he'd  have sold it at a fair price. Kudos and hats off to Fred Schmitt for  all 
the good he has done for the ham radio hobby. He has a huge stock and good  
pricing on tubes too. 
 
If he's closing up shop, I hope someone equally well inclined assumes  
control of his stock. Bless him.

IF YOU  HAVE ANY TELETYPE PARTS NEEDS YOU PROBABLY SHOULD GET AN ORDER 
OFF TO FRED  AT TYPETRONICS  RIGHT AWAY...   HE IS 92 YEARS OLD AND MUST  
FIND A HOME FOR HIS TUBES, COMPONENTS AND TELETYPE PARTS...   HE  IS 
RELUCTANT TO PACK AND SHIP ANY HEAVY ITEMS BUT WILL DO WHAT HE CAN AT  
HIS AGE...  I AM ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE COUNTRY TO HELP, BUT  ANOTHER 
THOUGHT MIGHT BE IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE A BUNCH OF STUFF TRY TO  MAKE A 
DEAL WITH HIM AND GET IT PICKED UP WITH A TRUCK OR  SOMETHING...  HE IS 
IN FT. LAURDALE, FLORIDA...  HIS NUMBER IS  954-583-1340...  HE IS REALLY 
A GREAT GUY AND HAS BEEN OF MUCH HELP  ALL OF THESE YEARS...  BUT NOW HIS 
STOCK MUST MOVE  ON...
