[GreenKeys] Model 38

Wed Sep 25 22:34:08 EDT 2013

Once upon a time I built a telephone housing out of smoked plexiglas by cutting end pieces to shape and size, then heating a large rectangle of the stuff in a conventional oven just warm enough to 'fold' it to conform to the ends. It turned out absolutely great but required mechanical fasteners to attach the ends. Now that I think about it, I may have formed the ends to fit the final product.

Perhaps a clear adhesive could be used instead? One could form a dome similar to a Selectric III with this method, but I don't know how close to the 38 it might look. -Cory

I had a friend bragging about a  3d  printer  he is  getting and  he made hand motions  that seemed  like  a  larger  sine than a  35 bubble lid.....   he is a friend to the museum project   so if I can bag a real one  we  can print on demand,

>> Thanks for the background, guys. We'll see how it pans out. I did nab a tabletop 35 which will keep me busy. Case is pretty beat up (missing the plastic dome) but otherwise complete. It'll need a degrease and lube but looks all there.  -Cory

Now, the truck was already full so it didn't come home with me (at least right now), but I'm curious what the background is on this model. Google isn't much of a help. It appears to have a type cylinder like the 32/33 series. Did it operate at higher speeds? What was the target market? Anything unique about this model?
