Folks,

I'm preparing to move into a smaller, quieter environment and have ordered a
Dumpster to facilitate my downsizing.

I have a couple of items which may be of interest to Greenkeyers:

A restored TT-176A/UG (Model 28 Skintight) in good working condition with
the attendant loop supply. The cabinet is repainted the correct color and
it's clean inside. Definitely not a junker. I have used it reliably with
ITTY and off air copy. I might be cajoled into including a HAL ST6000 and my
binder of HAL information plus a spare M28 typer. The lot price is $200 FOB
my radio den, Zip code 44028. Shipping not available.

An unusual FRXD-10, Model 14 Reperforator Transmitter Distributor. I have
had it working and it is complete with a home brew (not mine) power supply
and control box. There are copious notes on how to get it going, including a
copy of Kretzman's February 1964 CQ article on using it and Teletype Corp.
documents covering parts, lubrication, circuitry and adjustments. It
incorporates a "climbing monkey" tape reader and a chad drawer. Fred Schmidt
N4TT, before he passed, helped me find the documentation on the FRXD
machines. It's dusty and needs a ribbon and some TLC but the documentation
is all here. The tape typer and punch work independently of the tape reader,
similar to the Model 28 RT set which was its successor. There is no cover
for the FRXD, but who cares; the machine is better looking than the box.
Offers will be considered. FOB Zip code 44028. No shipping.

Shipping is not feasible for either unit, but I'll hold them for a time
following remittance.

I'm prepared for an onslaught of flames and remarks, so fire away. The
Dumpster arrives soon.

Thanks for reading.
