[GreenKeys] Model 15 typing unit still on eBay, no bids

[David Burns]

John!
     I'm glad you are stepping up for this unit, it is very clean and I 
note that it has a holding-magnet selector (which I've never seen before).

     I'm trying to restore a military M15 and it's clear that somebody 
dropped the print-carriage "on its head" (mangling the ribbon 
transports) and then "bent it back into shape" (sort-of) at some point 
during its life.  Seems as though it would work, but it irks and 
dispirits me. See Bent Mechanism 
<http://users.rcn.com/dvdbrns/Bent%20Ribbon%20Spool%20Mechanism/BentMechanism.html> 
(where the gears don't mesh properly)

     If the print carriage on your bad typing unit is in better shape 
than mine, would you be willing to part with it (postage +?)

I bid on it. Should be able to use it for the machine I have that has a
good motor but bad typing unit.

    Here's a very clean Model 15 typing unit on eBay for $99. Looks like
a spare unit that was barely if ever used.

    I don't need another Model 15 typing unit, but this one
is in such good condition it should go someplace good.
