[GreenKeys] MITE mavens, I'm looking for some parts.

I cleaned off my bench, and opened up a few MITES I have accumulated.  I 
finally got hold of a KSR in the portable fiberglass case, and 
discovered  it has some serious problems. There are several parts 
missing from the typing unit, and it is very different from the others I 
have. Has anyone seen a MITE with a stainless steel chain instead of the 
fiber tape on the moving pulleys in the selector portion of the typing 
unit? Also, the ribbon feed is very elaborate with a  gear drive from 
the main shaft and roller guides for the ribbon instead of the simpler 
one with wire loop guides. Finally, the paper tension rollers are 
released for loading the paper by moving a lever sideways instead of the 
latching  push button. Does anyone have one of these in restorable 
condition, meaning complete but dirty and/or rusty?
