[GreenKeys] 28 printing reperf hammer redux

[Ed Sharpe Archivist for SMECC via GreenKeys]

be interesting to see if the nos  ones  have suffered some  breakdown too   
 also....  or if it just  an  effect  of the  oil on the  ones that are 
mounted in   units...  I can not  say...  maybe  George  can weigh  in on 
this....

I have a quote from a source that says he has 50 of these 173979 heads -  
New Old Stock.

$9 ea. Is that out of line? Would you guys want some  at that price?

I am checking elsewhere among other sources of NOS  govt spare parts

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....
