ALL - -  - 

My experience with the 173979 hammer heads is that inasmuch as they  are 
aged for about the same time as the ones I have seen/used, I submit that  the 
ones for 9 dollars each would be a nice profit for the vendor, but it  would 
be at best iffy as to whether or not they would hold up for any period  of 
time.

When the material that they were made of ages, it seems to  retire whether 
or not it has had much use. Looks and works good, and then  POOF!!! they are 
dust.

Just my  opinion/experience.

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....
