[GreenKeys] TYPETRONICS

Sat Aug 20 10:37:30 EDT 2005

GA listmembers,

I have been following the discussion concerning the demise of 
Typetronics with some concern, and, although I can't make the trip 
myself at this
time, would happily contribute at least $100.00 to help defray the gas 
prices of someone who would be able to get down there to ck out the 
inventory, etc.

Right now, I am happily enjoying my new bionic lenses, having just had 
my cataracts removed, and now can see perfectly, with the exception of some
trouble with my left eye from an old bleed which I already knew about, 
however, Teletype paper has now become rich canary yellow, and not greenish
dull gray. --hi--........  I wish I could, at this time, also absorb 
some excess inventory.  The problem I have now is, of course, space.  I 
reside in a row home
(for those not familiar, possibly you are familiar with a 
"townhouse?????"  OK...well, I have the contents of 2 houses in here 
right now, as I have recently settled an estate, and have furniture 
jammed everywhere.  My basement is chock full, and I have teletype 
machines against one another until I can get sorted out and restore 
order to chaos.  That is why I have asked various list members to hold 
machines for me --hi--...  I also lost my "warehouse"  when we failed to 
get the USS America for a museum ship, and she was towed out and sunk in 
a live fire exercise.  

Anyhow, we can't let this valuable inventory go to waste....so I will 
donate for expenses to anyone going down.....

Now, change of subject..... I need a TYPING perf for an M28ASR........ I 
have a non typing perf, and while I have been reading tape forever, I 
still like the printing perfs.... I also need a complete set of parts to 
add an underdome reperf for this M28, with the exception of the reperf 
itself, of which I have plenty.   (Did someone on the list need a punch 
block?  a punch pin?   was that for chad or chadless??? let me know, and 
I probably have the whole assy or just the pins, but I gotta search thru 
the "mass quantities" of parts in some rather large boxes, including a 
large quantity of parts which Jan Skirrow packed my URA-17's with when 
he shipped them to me,,,,,,,,,,

Anyhow let me know about the trip plans, and whoever it was that needed 
the reperf parts, and I will look for them and send them out as soon as 
I can locate them in the Rats Nest which the basement has temporarily 
become........incidentally if anyone has a schematic for a URA8, I would 
appreciate that (No H deflection on the CRT)  so just a rudimentary tube 
layout would be helpful here for starters, and I could trace things from 
there... I remember a lot, but 38 years is a long time--hi--

tnx much
