Hello!

I'm not really into teletype myself, but I know where to find you guys, 
and I also hate to see historical documents and equipment go into the 
dumpster...

Parts and equipment from the estate of a SK ham who was into RTTY and a 
MARS member was donated to the local repeater club.  They didn't even 
know what most of it was, so I offered to help find homes for things, 
with all proceeds going to the club.    The only working(?)  tty machine 
had to be abandoned in the attic, but some equipment and a stack of 
manuals were saved, so far.     I don't know what the best way to 
dispose of them is other than to ask you guys, since neither the club 
nor I has any interest in parcelling them out one at a time on eBay or 
such.  I can make a complete inventory if necessary but here's a starter 
to see if there is any interest:

I have a stack about 7" tall of Teletype Corporation Manuals for model 
14 and 15 machines.    Each is in the "official"  Teletype subsidiary of 
Western Electric Company binding and all are in excellent but not NIB 
condition and dates range from the 30s-40s. There are a few duplicates 
but most are different, and include titles like "Description Type Bar 
Page Printer Model 15", "Parts-Tables", "Parts Regenerator Unit and Panel".

I'd appreciate a DIRECT email from anyone with further interest or 
suggestions about what the best way to dispose of these manuals would 
be, e.g. individually or as a lot, and any offers will be passed along 
to the club for consideration.

Thanks for assisting me in this, as I hope these beautifully-done 
technical manuals don't end up in the landfill.

73, Bob W9RAN
