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.
