[GreenKeys] 33 KSR

[gil at baudot.net]

Well, I'm surprised that a computer guy would not want the tape-handling
of an ASR.  Tha ASR is considerably more fun than a KSR (or egads, an
RO).  He might actually be bummed when he realizes it has no tape.

However, a KSR is considerably rarer than an ASR (and there may not even
be any ROs left today).  This KSR may be worth a bit more than you might
first think, especially if it is in decent shape -- although some sort
of round gizmo has been hacked into the CCU plate (but that's an easy
fix).

I have a KSR around here somewhere, and new plastic for it -- another
rainy-day project.  Kinda cute in a non-symmetrical sort of way.

I suspect that the guy got caught up in a 33 bidding war -- who knows. 
Besides me and Don, I can't imagine ayone who would really want a KSR,
but it's nice to know there are a few more out there.
