Thanks to  Bill Strangfeld, John Poulton, Nick England, I now have seven Kleinschmidt machines to find room for in my shop.  This all started out by John offering a KSR on Greenkeys.  Nick's wife delivered to me in Greenville along with a reperf.   John then unearthed two TDs which he promised to deliver to me in Dayton.  The TD's brought two other friends along, a KSR and a reperf with a KYBD/TD.  Somewhere in all of this Bill offered up a pristine KSR that I also picked up in Dayton with Nick & John's help.  Bill even had the platen crank!   I think Nick was thankful to get all of this out of his van.  I now have a full shop.  My plan is to rebuild/clean/get operating all of the above.  Then I hope to give them away to others in order to free up some space here.  I also have a 28 KSR, 28 RO and a 28 KTR all needing some TLC as well.  Here is the Kleinschmidt equipment I now have:
FN-52/GGC - Typing Reperf/KYBD/TD TT-123A/FG - TDTT-322/GGC-9  - TDTT-483/UGC - KSRTT-107B/FG - Typing ReperfUnknown Model - KSRUnknown Model - KSR
The two unknown KSRs both have power supplies and series govern motors.  One could pass for a TT-483 or TT-100.  The other unknown appears to be the same under the cover.  The cover on this second printer does not have spring operated thumb turns on the sides.  Thumb screws secure the cover.  If anyone knows how to determine the model number on these, let me know.
John also found a Hal ST-6 at a hamfest earlier this year and gave that to me at cost.  
The down side of all of this is that I'm really not set up to tackle all of this... yet.  It will take a few weeks to find a place to set everything and prioritize to the equipment.  I did hear from John White indicating that he has some KLI parts.  I will likely need parts some where along the way.  60 WPM gear sets will be needed for at least two of the printers.  I don't know as yet how everything else is set up.  If you have parts that your will to let go, let me know.  Also, I would like obtain printed manuals on all of this gear.  I pfds on the KSRs and the typing reperf.  I have nothing yet on the FN-52/GGC.  I don't think I have ever seen one of these.  
I'll keep the list posted on the project with updates as I make progress.  
73, de Jim - K8ARY
