[GreenKeys] 28 printing reperf hammer redux

[Nick England]

No not the ball peen hammer you use for fine adjustments, the one that
whacks the underside of the tape into the ribbon and typewheel -
There is a plastic head that fits onto the hammer shaft - shaft 173980,
head 173979
The parts book says these are part of 176138 mod kit (see spec 50029S)
Q1:  So I am curious - does anyone have a copy of 50029S? I presume it is
all about replacing the old style 156476 metal hammer
Q2:  And more importantly, has anyone discovered a supply of 173979 heads
that haven't crumbled into powder? Or suggested alternatives? I see this is
a perpetual topic in the archives - was there ever a solution?

Was the old metal head so bad? At least it wouldn't crumble to mush....

Thanks
