[GreenKeys] NJ Stuff on ebay + a question

[dave sigafoose]

I live about 20 miles from the Sheetz house and
purchased a complete model 19 set from Sheetz estate a
couple of months ago.  

The two guys handling the sale were very easy to deal
with and gave me a complete tour of the Sheetz garage,
basement, and 2nd floor, all full of equipment, which
took almost 2 hours.

Beyond the other things on E-bay, I saw a couple of
mod 14 TD's and also 3 mod 28 typing units, a mod 28
keyboard base, and a mod floor cabinet with power
supply in various parts of the basement.  

The mod 19 that I bought is now in my basment on the
work bench, as I haven't had much time to work on it.
The motor powered up just fine, but there seems to be
dried grease everywhere.  

The first thing I noticed was that the dash pot was
frozen.  Had to disassemble it complete to free it up
and get it dashing again.  

The next problem was that the keys in type basket were
frozen solid.  I removed the type basket and gave
everything a liberal spraying with WD-40, moved the
type keys carefully and it seemed OK.  That was 2
weeks ago, and yesterday I tried to move the keys and
they moved, but not easily, only with some effort.

So, I need as suggestion as to how to get the keys in
the type basket to keep moving freely.

Regards,


Dave Sigafoose

I see there is a "huge lot" including two model 19s
and two Model 28s
listed on ebay for pickup only in New Jersey.  The
seller his the same
one who was handling the stuff from the Sheetz estate.
 Sure hope this
stuff doesn't wind up in a dump.
