[GreenKeys] KSR-33 Restoration - Good News, and Bad News

[Lester Veenstra]

Well in a former life I used to them down to bare Al casting and put them
back together
Even would make 32TAMs turn into 33 ROs.
So hose it down and let it out in the sun to dry, rather that put it in the
landfill.

Subject: [GreenKeys] KSR-33 Restoration - Good News, and Bad News

Hello Greenkeyers:

So... I have some good news and some bad news regarding my KSR-33
restoration.

Good news: I'm getting a 33-ASR sprocket feed some time before the end
of the month.

Bad news: My KSR-33 has become a total, complete write-off. ...And
slightly biohazardous.


If you're wondering how my KSR-33 became a biohazardous write off...
well the sewer backed up, and turned my lovely, clean basement - and
place I had the teletype - into a wonderful location full of... well
what normally goes down the sewer. So, after stewing in wetness,
and... ahem... for the weekend (because I was not at home on the
weekend) the KSR-33 is now quite damaged beyond repair. Well, it could
technically still be repaired if you want to completely strip it down
to the bare parts and then soak it all in industrial solvent for a
week; mostly because - again - the '33 was literally covered in...
ahem... for two days, and the stuff is bloody *everywhere*.



So yeah, my KSR-33 is a write off due to getting covered - and filled
- with raw sewage. And I'm getting a 33ASR sprocket-feed soon. And I
need to have my basement redone.


Cheers to everyone.
