[GreenKeys] Western Union 2B Parts Needed

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

well you can try  to find another case  or.... or   just  cut the holes in  
 the one u have  if  you want  to match the photo  .... which may have had  
cases swapped  along  its  life if  did nit have a lever behind the oval 
hole
 
but   it really  may  be a bell  read   on....
 
 
and Jim Haynes  even thought the Bell case not the WU case were the  ones  
with TWO holes one  round one  oval... although I have  deaf  friends that  
had  2 b's  the  claimed were  WU    and the   had the 2  holes.
BUT IT MAY ALSO HAVE BEEN A W.U. Friend that had  some old Bell 14s  thay 
gave them..

see the picture in one of the past messages  with the soft  of  fuzzy green 
  TTY  I sent.   unfortunately   too  fuzzy to see if there is the    throw 
 lever behind the oval hole or if it was like my  lever less 2b  but  just 
a  2 hole case dropped over it.
 
My  2b's  have round hole only...
 
My bell typing reperf  had a  oval hole... and a little lever  switch.  if  
you  2b  does not have lever    thing   where the oval hole  would  go   it 
  never  had the oval cutout...
 
also  as  you saw Dan's  2b it has only  round   hole also.... ( this is a 
beauty of a 2b!)
 

 
 
as a  prop to  make one  my  2b  that  goes in the  Deaf and Hard of 
Hearing   display  like their photo so I am looking  for a 2 hole case as  well! 
 
 
 
Dick> to make things  even stranger  your  unit  in that  photo and they 
used it   for  RCA   stuff and not  Western union or  the mix   of  RCA and WU 
 usage ended the station up with a bell unit. an early bell unit   would  
look like   a  2b.......
 
my advise is  get it clean get it working  worry about   case issues after  
getting all other   done  or   if it is bell they  used with the lever... 
someday one  will  come  along...   I am also curious as to the 2  tape  
printers in my garage that went in there 20  years ago that I need to move  
everything else to get to ... I stowed them as they were not  the typing  reperf 
 like  I started my tty life  with..
 
So anyway one was  from  Bill Breniman of  society of  wireless pioneers  
he gave us over  20 years ago ...
 (heh heh heh wouldn't it be something if it was actually the  one  from 
your station?!?!  ))
 
the other one  was a gift from  a terminal leasing guy that  finally  gave 
it to me because he know  I liked old stuff ...
 
BUT! it will take  more effort than Indiana Jones went though  to  get that 
crystal skull to exhume them in a timely manner.  Now   that I am totally 
teletype  obsessed trying get these display  for the  museum SMECC  done  I 
do need to go digging.... for them and  also   some  scr 268  radar display 
scopes that are back  there.

RD> Could it be that a M14 case was placed on the 2B tape  printer?

Ed> yes... if  you  go back  to the flurry  of messages we  
had  when you were  deciding to  get  it  there was  
some discussion of that  Dick.

RD>  Right, thanks for the reminder.  So now we add a 2B case to the list 
of  things needed!
