[GreenKeys] WU Model 100 documentation ( & copy-holder) WANTED

Gentlemen (Ladies?):
     I have not one but two Western Union Model 100 page printers 
(kindly received from Jim (W1JT) in exchange for future consideration) 
which I am bound and determined to make run again and speak with one 
another.

     One has a tag indicating "Removed from Service June 1966", (that's 
45 years ago!) which is exactly the year I got one as a teenager and 
started having blast with it.  So it's a return to yesteryear for me, 
but I really, really, don't want to blow-up a bearing.  (Both machines 
are missing their copyholders which bolt onto the folding cover...hence 
the request for hardware.)

     So this is a request for -any- WU Model 100 documentation, no 
matter how fragmentary.  I remember seeing a documentation set purchased 
on eBay a while back, and of course I'm kicking myself for not heeding a 
nostalgic urge at the time, but it was $100 opening bid and I didn't 
think I'd ever actually see a machine again.  If that somebody reads 
this list, I'd love to hear from you!

     Otherwise, Suggestions and Advice kindly requested from any and all 
corners!

David Burns - Boston

P.S.  I'm absolutely confident that expertise available on GreenKeys 
would allow me to do this "by the seat of my pants", but I'm a big 
believer in "RTFM", if you get my drift.
