[GreenKeys] Rebuilt M15

[Bob & Linda]

Scott Clark and Green Keys,

I just went through your pictures again of the rebuild of your M15 KSR.  
What a beautiful creation you wound up with.  I wonder if you would 
share with me the recipe for the electric bath you used on some parts.  
Did you repaint everything?

I'm new to this group and should introduce my self I guess.  Bob Smith 
WB6ODR, Prescott, AZ.  Late 1958 I was sent for my second 8 weeks of 
basic training to Fort Gordon, Georgia.  After that I was sent to a 
little place out side Stuttgart, Germany and assigned to work a torn 
tape system at 7 Army Headquarters. Later I was sent to repair school 
and spent a year there in repair.  Don't remember the nomenclature of 
any of the equipment but I've read here of the chad less reperforators 
that made up the "coke" machine.  We had 5 or 6 of these and I don't 
know what all in the crypto section.  A roomful of typing M14 
reperforators, a plug board to complete the circuits to the outlying 
stations.  5 or 6  M19's that were used by the "pokers" who typed up the 
messages that were locally originated.  After I got out of the service I 
worked on teletype for 3 or 4 years with Pacific Telephone &Telegraph in 
San Diego.  I've also loved the older machines and later the model 28's 
I worked on. Did a little with some 33's and 38's I think they were.  I 
had a Model 28KSR that was used in stock market circuits that I was able 
to convert to a standard machine and used it for some time to copy and 
communicate on 20 meter rtty.  I was up on a 220MHz machine in San Diego 
for a while in the late '70's. After moving to my new home in San Diego 
I had no room for a big teletype machine and sold it.  Now I try to get 
up on PSK31 via computer a little and just dream of the "Good Old Days"

Thanks,
Bob WB6ODR
