[GreenKeys] Shipboard Teletype

[Don Robert House]

Hi Steve,

The smashed equipment seldom gets some of the valuable stuff down on  
the base of the machines. The motor the gears, the drive shafts, the  
couplers and most of all the GEAR SHIFT mechanisms.  All of the  
mounting screws are valuable as most are no longer available.

In the bottom of the machines is often an aux electrical service unit  
for the aux reperforator.

Most of the stuff you can remove with a long skinny straight slot  
screwdriver and a set of fractional allen wrenches. A small 1/4 inch  
open end wrench and a 1/4 inch nutdriver are also helpful.  If you  
take anything with wires take the connectors and strips also, as  
wiring diagrams are hard to come by.

Thanks for thinking of us.

Don
