[GreenKeys] 28ASR Type Hammer?

[Wayne Letourneau]

Yep, I have a model 28 that just sits in the corner collecting dust, and
have a 32 that needs constant attention. On the other hand, I have a model
19 and a 14ksr that have been running since 1975 with just a drop of oil now
and then ( I did replace a selector magnet coil last year in the 19). I
recommend retiring the 28s and rescuing more 15s and 19s.

Hey, guys! This is a great day! I've been sitting here for months now 
With my old model 14/19 junk, bright green with envy of you people with 
Model 28's but once again, that old stuff just keeps pounding away! I feel 
Much better now after that comment on 14 reperfs! Now, if I could just 
Convince at least one of these new emcomm kids that the key has some 
Advantages over the computer keyboard I could die happy!
