[GreenKeys] Teletype Model 33 Restoration *UPDATE* - '269 Machine

[David Tumey]

Pete,
First thanks to the keys for all the kind comments about the restoration work I have been receiving today off-list, but.....this was hardly a solo effort.  I engaged teams of people to get this project done and I can't take credit for all their skill and hard work.  What impresses me is the work done by Michael Zahorik, Doug Jones, Jon Whitney, Wayne Durkee, et. al., who basically did all their work by themselves - look at the incredible effort Michael has put forth getting his machine (which looked to be in far worse shape than any of mine) to work like new!  I doff my KS-7470 stained hat to them.
I have hundreds of 'before' and 'after' photographs and I am planning on creating - at some point in the future - some kind of web page where you can click on the various photos to see what we started and ended with.  Also I plan on providing some hints and tips as to how various restorations were accomplished.  I have included several of these 'before' and 'after' photos in emails to the list over the past couple years (keyboards, UCC-6's, enclosures, hood & window, pedestals, feet, etc.) - but I will try to get everything organized in one place once time permits.  I believe you can search the database to see these various postings.
Thanks again to the group for all the support!

When done a before and after picture of each S/N would be great.

Keys,
The last of the three emails.  This is the newest of the machines with a high 500K serial number.  it is one of the "Dayton 6" machines.  It is the worst of the 4 cosmetically (by worst, my wife says that I mean it is only a 9.99/10).  It works very well and is photographed here just prior to installation on its pedestal.
I should have photos of the last machine ('789) ready to share in a couple months.
Thanks for the Bandwidth.
