On the 5 hours drive back from Georges and from other conversations with friends
curious  how many under 25 or 30 green-keys (keyers ?) there are and
can anything be done
to interest the teens or even younger ?

I've had two teens totally go nuts over watching a 35 do its thing and
one at least said it
helped him decide to go into engineering, one win.

the other though I had was one of those two sides of a coin. There's
still a lot of Teletype
stuff out there, but an awful lot is just getting trashed as dad or
uncle die off and the
kids just call the junk man. This could have easily happed the latest
pile George was
given the opportunity to rescue. On the flip side there are less and
less of those interested.

Oh well .. just some thoughts on if  can or should be done

BTW Thanks to George I now have the means to do what John Nagle did, A strip
printer that what looks like with a little work will fit in a glass
box and be ready for demo
next year.

Except for once owning a 19 that was lost in a fire, which other then
minor adjustment
this will my first pre 28/35 Teletype I've worked on .. be ready for
questions !!!
