I've had these two machines for well over 30 years, and the last 25+ 
they have sat, covered up, in the basement. They need to find a new home 
now. Both were used with the pictured current loop converter and a 
BC-348 receiver. I used that combination for some years and it worked 
great. There is also a new roll of paper or two to go along with them. 
The model 15 when power is applied started running and acting as if it 
were getting space signal, and the carriage ran to the end. The other 
one, the M26-KSR, turned on and sat there idling like it was ready to 
go. What neat machines these are! So well built unlike the crap we get 
to buy these days. Both come with original stands, the one wood one is 
very nicely done, and in great condition.

Obviously you folks know these are heavy and shipping them must be an 
issue. I'm located in Michigan, near Frankenmuth. If need be I could 
load them up in the truck and meet somewhere. I just really want them to 
find a good home, they are both clean inside and sure seem ready to go 
as-is. They need to cleaned on the outside, that is for certain, even 
with being under covers all these years. Would prefer to let it all go 
at once to one person as a set. I have *no* idea to its value, if there 
is one, so I'm looking for honest valuations from you folks. I'm not 
looking to make money here, just want everyone to think they got 
themselves a deal. With the MI economy being in such poor shape I'm 
looking to downsize in case we need to move quickly.

On the M26, that Plexiglas is not original, it was my crude attempt at 
making one, and I was only in my early teens using my parents oven, so 
don't laugh.
