[GreenKeys] Fw: TELETYPE NEEDS A GOOD HOME

[Lee Mushel]

Perhaps it's time to give this "floating machine" issue some real thought 
and organization.

The three problems seem to be:

1.   I live in Tim-Buck-two.

2.   I want two million dollars for this valuable machine.

3.   You must pick it up by next Friday!

I have already "saved" two machines and have driven almost 800 miles in the 
process.   But I can't repeat this today because of age, time and money.

But, perhaps this could be "organized" so that someone with a pickup truck 
could be adequately and periodically "subsidized" and arm twisted into 
making a couple of times swing across half the country.   Driving from Maine 
to Wisconsin to save a machine doesn't make that much sense but driving to 
Maine, then New York, then to Philadelphia and then to Detroit and then to 
Wisconsin given the fact that they can be dropped off at some other stops on 
the same swing with the recipients managing to pay for the gas might be 
possible.

Requires organizing, though and I am not volunteering.
