[GreenKeys] Large Haul Received....

[Dave Hunter]

Hi All. 

I mentioned this several months ago when I made 
arrangements to get this, and finally it has been received 
here.

Amongst the items is a model 14 - like machine. It is small 
- smaller than my model 15. I really haven't had much 
chance to look at it, as I have been getting some of the 
other items sorted out.

There are 3 metal boxes of parts, one for 33s, one for 
model 28s and one fo a later machine. Whenever I get a 
chance to catalog them, I will let you all know what I got 
it in them. Unfortunately, a lot of the envelopes aren''t 
marked, so it will take a while to figure out what I have,

The model 14 like machine is interesting. I will give you 
more details when I have had a better chance to look at it. 
One odd detail about it is that the grey paint on one area 
of the back has peeled revealing a litographed woodgrain 
finish underneath. The machine bears a Trans Canada 
Telephone System logo as is common on some of the Canadian 
machines sold by the telephone companies.

I have two power supplies and a number of testers, one loop 
supply, an anti-static mat and wrist strap, two large BSP 
binders full of teletype BSPs - don't ask me yet what 
machines they cover -- I haven't had a chance to even open 
them up.

There are three testers, one a fox generator, and two 
distortion analyzers.

To me, two of the more interesting items are a large 
magnetic car sign reading "Teletype Corporation Product 
Service". I have half a mind to stick it on the door of my 
car and drive over to visit a fellow I know here who many 
years ago worked for CN/CP Communications to see what he 
would say when he sees it.

Also, there is a brand new unused decal from 1958 
advertising Telephone Service.

So, lots of fun, and lots to go through as I get the time.

I have photos of some of these items on my site at:
