[GreenKeys] Model 12 on e bay

[BOB LAAG]

ANOTHER THING THAT WAS NEAT ABOUT ONE OF THOSE OL' 12;S WAS THAT IT HAD 
A LITTLE METAL TAB THAT WOULD KEEP THE MACHINE FROM "RUNNING OPEN" IF 
THE LOOP WAS TO OPEN...  ONE MACHINE HAD THAT AND ONE WOULD JUST RUN 
OPEN...  I  TRIED TO CALL A WESTERN UNION REPAIR TECH IN L.A. TO SEE IF 
HE KNEW HOW TO GET ANOTHER OF THE PIECES BUT HE PROBABLY HAD NOT EVEN 
SEEN A MODEL 12 AND I AM SURE HE WAS BUSY AND DIDN'T NEED TO HEAR FROM  
A NUT DURING HIS DAY AT WORK...   I WAS JUST A KID THEN AND EXPECTED 
ANYONE MIGHT HELP AS THEY ALL LIKED WHAT THEY DID FOR WORK...  NOW I 
UNDERSTAND BETTER...  BUT IT WAS A NEAT LITTLE PIECE THAT WOULD CATCH 
AND KEEP THE MACHINE FROM JUST RUNNING OPEN...
