[GreenKeys] the 28 "kit" project...

[Randy or Sherry Guttery]

This weekend hopefully will see a major advance in the progress of "the 
kit".  Weeknights - I've not had much time to spend - so it's been slow 
going. One of the major "events" on the agenda for this weekend is 
pulling the main shaft from the automatic typer, installing the driven 
(input) gear and keyboard drive gear. I already have pulled the one from 
my parts donor (and boy was making that a parts donor the right 
decision! - many, many missing parts, bearings locked up, etc.)...  but 
that one is laid-out quite a bit different in several places - I already 
know pulling the one from the modern unit will have similar but 
different "challenges"...

Anyone have any "Pearls of Wisdom" about pulling the main shaft?  Such 
as dealing with the selector cam assembly (tie-back all followers - or 
leave the cam assembly in place and carefully swing the shaft down and 
then slide right until clear of the cam assy.)? Remove the securing 
screws from the spacing clutch assy. and slide it to the right to miss 
the spacing pinion - or remove the pinion (and/or entire spacing 
shaft/cam assy.)?

Any and all hints / kinks / tricks / "why didn't I think of that" are 
welcome!

And again - thanks for so many emails of encouragement and advice - they 
are *all* truly appreciated!!!
