[GreenKeys] various parts wishlist

[Don Robert House]

Eric,

I have tried to get safety glass made for Teletype machines.
It is a non-standard thickness and no longer available.

Even Teletype eventually went to using plexiglas.  I suggest
using an acrylic sheet and grind a bevel on one side for tearing
paper.

Most of my parts are for M28s and most are without numbers.

hi,
just thought I'd send out a query about a few parts I'd like to find:

Model 15 keycaps: F, H, maybe T. my "H" has "STOP" above and "H" below  
but I
suppose it doesn't matter.

a Model 14 reperferator platen - the little pencil-eraser looking  
thing - i don't
even know if it's supposed to fit snugly or just sit there in the  
hole, but
mine's worn down. My "parts" 14 reperf has an actual pink pencil  
eraser stuck in
there and it doesn't really work at all. heh.

Captive nuts for the front cover of my 14 KTR. The signal corps manual  
calls
this a "C-161" type cover. There are nice thumbscrews there for  
holding the
cover shut, but where the nuts to mate with them should be are just  
flat tabs
that look like they're meant to hold captive nuts. Or maybe they were  
threaded
once? I couldn't find an indication in the manual of what should be  
there.

My Model 15 needs new glass, too, but it probably makes more sense to  
have
some cut locally. It looks like two thin sheets of glass separated by  
a plastic
adhesive layer or something - is this normal?


thanks!
eric
