Hi Don,

Actually to answer your question, my wife is VERY supportive of my TTY
and phone hobbies. After we bought our house in the countryside, she
announced that we are having a (very nice actually)
heated/airconditioned building erected that will be my Teletype and
switch gear building. I am finishing it in late forties to early fifties
industrial/office decore. ?I converted her with antque phones throughout
the house, including a fifty something?year old?1A2 system that serves
her legal business. I am truly a lucky guy. I guess the payoff for her
is that my mid-life crisis doesn't involve motorcycles are little red
sports cars!

Hi Joe,

I didn't have much rtty hardware and I gave it away (to people on this
list) when we sold the farm. My rtty is all computer based now. I've
always spent time on my technical efforts. I have overheard my wife
actually bragging about the things I have done. While some other ladies
worried about where their men are and what they might be doing my wife
always knew (knows) right where to find me <g>. My wife always pointed
that out, too. Domestic tranquility is a wonderful thing.

The doctors are promising to repair my antique heart. If I survive that
I want to take her traveling to visit family and I will probably have
some room for equipment to travel to new homes if it's going the same
way I am.

There is an old hand cranked telephone here at Houghton Lake, MI in one
of those fleamarket/auction type places. It's rough but the moving parts
all move. I think they want about $350 bucks for it. I have no clue
about it's value. If you or anybody on the list is interested I can take
pictures and/or put you in touch with them. 

73,
