[GreenKeys] Teletype model 15 shock mounting

[John Nagle]

    I have a Teletype Model 15 with the little table that comes
equipped with Lord-type rubber shock mounts.  But I don't have the
bolts for bolting the teletype down.

    The screw holes in the base of the teletype are, surprisingly,
just threaded holes in sheet metal.  They don't go into the frame.
Also, although they appear to be for 3/8" bolts, they don't
fit a modern fine thread.  Does anyone know what thread those use,
or have some of those bolts?

    Are those bolts supposed to carry the weight of the machine,
lifting it up on the rubber mounts?  Or does the machine really rest
on the felt pad, with the mounts just used to absorb side loads?
