[GreenKeys] The 37 arrives in Portland Oregon, a quick look

[Pete Lancashire]

Picked up at the freight depot  the 37 that I acquired from Potomac Metals
in Va.

It has been a long day for me so just a few quick pictures and observations

Overall they did a pretty good job of packing for a LTL shipment. Total
weight was 305 Lbs.

It was to be scrapped if I had not worked out an acceptable offer. These
guys do not keep stuff around long, they can't. I could not let it become
breakage.

Here's what I see wrong so far

- Lots of oil coating all over, good no rust etc.

- As known the noise deadening foam is stuck to everything, going to be a
real fun job to get cleaned up. The stuff is really nasty.

- There are parts bent and missing from the left side ribbon assembly Parts
can be substituted and or temp parts fabricated. Blah ....

- There is a knurled fastener and maybe the nut assembly missing from the
 position bar. Minor.

- Two key caps are starting to split. Minor again.

- the hinges for the top have parts missing and the top needs some 'body'
work to get it to align back up. Again I'll say minor but at some point the
duct tape has to go !

- The thing that could be major is I found a plastic part sitting in the
remains of the  foam  bits on the left side of the printer base.

That's it for now, time to hit the sack
