[GreenKeys] TTY model 40 print chain

Hi folks,

My years-long quest for a TTY model 40 printer, 132 column version,
was fulfilled this year. I have TWO of them now thanks to two
kind greenkeyers on opposite coasts.

Sadly, in both machines the print chain has turned to goo, and
the type pieces fall out at the slightest touch. I just talked to
Fred at Typetronics (You're right, he is a great guy.  He said
he's sitting outside on a bench, with no power due to the hurricane,
for at least another week). He said all of his stock of the chains
decomposed too.

So... before giving up, I thought I'd ask if anyone here has or knows 
of a source of intact chains. If not, it might be the end of
the road for the model 40.

Thanks
Brian
