[GreenKeys] Need A Machine

[Ron Ott]

Wow, $200 for an ASR!! I remember back in the 1970s when a friend and I were wheeling and dealing military surplus (I was a physics grad student and he was an EE undergrad) and we traded 13 Mite machines to JJ Glass Co. in Los Angeles for a fully loaded M28ASR.  We cleaned up the ASR and sold it to a guy out in the southern California desert for $3K, including delivery (gas was a little cheaper then).  He had us install it in his kitchen --- next to his radio equipment of course. Needless to say, he was single!

BTW, those Mites were fun toys too with a unique sound and smell.

Jim, 

I have a 28 ASR. I also have a 28 KSR, the tape reader and the reperforator 
I picked it up a few years ago thinking I'd have room to set them up in the 
shack, but sadly I have to get at least one of them, as my Model 15 is just 
about what I have room for (and I have the military Kleinschmidt machine in 
my complete AN/GRC-42 shelter). 
I prefer to move out the 28 ASR as first priority. I may even keep the 28 
KSR, if the shack is minus the 28 ASR footprint...as it has a much smaller 
footprint. 
I paid $200 for both machines, I have some spare parts and the manuals. 
How about $125 for the 28 ASR? 

(Gastonia is about 80 miles from my QTH...)
