[GreenKeys] Model 15 parts wanted

[Gary Schulz]

Jim,

Looks like the perforator mechanism itself has a couple Teletype plates on
it but it is mounted to a slightly larger heavy aluminum plate that also
has the paper holder/feeder and that has the Western Union plate on it.
 Did perforators like this come with some sort of cover?  This one has
always been a bare mechanism...

It really looks like impressive quality and amazing intricacy.  Interesting
stuff....
