[GreenKeys] Model 15 on Ebay

[Ed Sharpe Archivist for SMECC via GreenKeys]

Ray... was  always  helping people. 
He  is a great  role model.
 
 Alas by the time I knew My  friend  Ray.... the oldest  thing  he  had 
around the house  was  some model 15   stuff   which  he  gave to the Deaf 
community  when  he  moved.  I suppose I could have  had one but I had a 14 and 
a  28  and was more intent on  the ASCII  stuff as that was the time  I was 
just starting my computer business.... Ray Morrison's  generosity   is in 
large part  for my successful entry into  the  computer and datacom field.and 
the formation of my company  that was responsible   for much in my life!
 
Ray Morrison  is highly esteemed   at   SMECC      We are still looking for 
  things  to add to the section we are doing on him.  Does anyone have a 
QST   index of article authors for the entire history? did he have anything in 
 there!?
 
Thanks Ed Sharpe archivist  for SMECC

I imagine most of them just went into the  dump as soon as something
better like Model 26s became available.  The  original owners of the
12s had to phase them out because Teletype quit  making parts for them.
So the hams got them, and they are not very nice  machines for ham radio.
Lots of RF noise, which was not such a problem on  VHF but was severe
on HF.  And they were made from typewriter parts,  so were less durable
than the later machines - altho that might not have  been a problem in
the fairly light duty hams gave them.  But mostly  they were probably
just worn completely out.  I was given a couple of  Model 12 typing
units by Ray Morrison and ended up tossing them out because  the bearings
were beyond worn  out.
