[GreenKeys] black M28ASR ?

Mon Nov 17 22:02:22 EST 2008

Gil,

I'm not sure what picture you are referring to, but I do not have a black 28ASR. I have a smooth black 28KSR cabinet that came from a railroad office in Chicago. I'm not sure which railroad. It's not that you are seeing because that is on the opposite side of the building. If you are talking about the 28ASR in the 05NavySide picture, that is actually a high gloss gunmetal gray metalic, some Toyota color. I got that one from Bob Camp. He got it from someone that had it professionally painted if I remember the story correctly. It's got a few scratches on it, but still pretty nice. I also have a bright blue 28ASR that Bill Strangfeld gave me. He thought it to be an original color.

It's pretty funny how many machines you guys have identified. Rice got 6 or 7 of them right. I should have a contest!

Regards,
Dave, WW8S

Hi Jack, and greenkeys:

It doesn't look like that black 28ASR is quite wrinkle-finish, as I would think that it would not have much sheen (but it is far back in the pic).

I am wanting to repaint an ASR cabinet, but have not really been excited by the choices of grays that are off-the-shelf (we had a prior discussion on colors).   This ASR  looks to have been previously painted with a different gray than standard, and I want to strip it and give it a new paint job (but I can't afford a custom color at a body shop).  It has the same subtle texture that my 28KSR has -- is that what they call "orange-peel?"

Anyway, I never considered black until I saw this one, but I think a nice satin black would look good on my ASR.  Was wrinkle-black the only  factory black M28 finish, or was black with that standard-28-texture also available?  Barring a proper green-gray, which looks to need a custom mix, I am left with a lighter navy-looking gray or black, as my Rustoleum off-the-shelf options.

And on a related note:  how can I strip the outer coat of previous-owner-added paint without affecting the underlying original 28 paint?  I want to retain the original texture.  If I can't strip it off properly, I suppose I could just give it a good degrease with laquer-thinner, and a mild roughing with a scratch pad.

any comments?

thanks,

gil

Gil/Dave,

I noticed the black 28ASR, too. I just recently acquired an

original black wrinkle 28KSR with a Mark I keyboard and printer. 

The cabinet paint code is on the inside, verifying its authenticity.

This cabinet is the older type with the open shelf in the bottom,

like a Model 15 table.

Hey Dave:

I see what looks like a black M28ASR in the background of one of your pics -- was black an original color, or has that one been painted?  Looks pretty good in black.

In response to requests for pictures of the two M15 "mailbox" cabinets I offer the following. Please let me apologize for the rough pictures, I just scooted stuff around just enough to get a shot. You can see that the WU cabinet is considerably larger than the Navy cabinet.
