[GreenKeys] Mod. 28KSR...

[Lee Mushel]

Gentlemen:

A grossly "broad brush" incorrect statement simply must be "fixed."   I can 
assure you that while no five level machines might have ever existed in 
Minnesota, a place that gave us some really strange politicians, timber 
wolves and Paul Bunyan, only a few miles away in civilized North Western 
Wisconsin they did and I have resurrected a fine 28 ASR obtained from there 
which is currently fully operational with all the dumb no longer available 
lamps replaced along with the original wiring which included provisions for 
who knows what exotic options that teletype corp. had available.   I am not 
a museum person but, rather, someone who simply wants things to light up and 
when you suitably tingle the magnets, will print error free copy.
