[GreenKeys] FRXD

[AI2Q]

Oh how I wish you lived closer, James. For many years I owned an FRXD-3-EL 
non-typing reperf, and loved it in conjunction with my Model 26. When my 
parents passed away and I sold their house, I donated the machines to The 
Science Museum of Long Island. I anticipated the radio club there would set 
them up in a demo loop. Later I was told Dr. john Loret, the museum's 
director, tossed them out.

> a

> for the FRXD, but who cares; the machine is better looking than the box.
> Offers will be considered. FOB Zip code 44028. No shipping.
