[GreenKeys] re: M28 parts for sale

Well, damn! The first attempt at this bounced for some reason, so here 
it is again:

Good morning group,

The box of parts weighs in at approx 29.5 lbs. I'm guessing that 2.5 lbs 
additional would cover packing material, for an ESTIMATED total of 32 
lbs.  I'll let you folks go to the FedEx or USPS (your choice) Web site 
to figure out what the shipping cost would be.

I have filed the responses in order by time sent. The first responder 
was non-commital but asked for the shipping cost. If after receiving 
this msg, he decides he wants the stuff, he gets it. Failing that, it 
would go to the second responder, who made a firm commitment. The only 
way I know to be fair about it.

About payment: I have had good luck with the ham community in shipping 
stuff prior to payment then advising the individual after the fact what 
the total amount due is, including the EXACT shipping charge. I will do 
the same with this stuff. Your check or money order will be fine, NO 
"PayPal" crap.

Thanks again for reading,
Ed Greeley

for scrap aluminum (groan). The only reason I know what the stuff came 
off of is because the dope saved the LRXB6 tag off of the base.

all the gears and shafts are present so that the thing could be 
reassembled - IF ONE HAD A BASE, or could fabricate one! Is there a 
machinist in the group...?

complete and NOT disassembled, and none of the gears, including the 
fiber ones, are damaged.
