[GreenKeys] Score: 6 teletypes for $30

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Yes  I  think  they were stupid!
 
An ad in the local paper  would have brought    25 to  50  each  for them!
 
I think it was  great one of our  guys  got them  for  almost  gratis 
though !
 
Why would I  expect them to ship them to me for  free?  nice  idea Jeff but 
 you are starting to imagine   things.
 
Telcom museums are a puzzle sometimes....
the best one was   in SF Calif. run under Don Thrall's   supervision but  
when  Don left  it all went to hell... ( I heard  there  ttys  went into the 
dumpster  there was a time   I  quit  traveling  for a while and  do not 
travel all that  much now  except I did  go to the NAB  show to gather info on  
VR  for use in journalism )... I  hope  state stepped up and  helped  take 
over the   Chinese  exchange history material.  It was world class and one 
of a kid....and  a  lady that used to work  that exchange  put together all 
the archives on it. ( sorry  I   forget her  name but  she was  wonderful.)  
Back in  the  days  I would  visit when I was   in the  computer  biz  I  
would visit when I had to  go to 3000  hannover st   to HP HQ... I  would go 
thu  SF see the   switching gear  work, play with phones,   and head up to 
see my  mom in santa rosa... this was in the  1980s.

How can you even  think that?

What would you suggest they have done differently?
1.  Sit on them until they rot asking an insane price for them.
2. Pitch them  into a dumpster.
3. Send them to you for free and pay the  freight?
