[GreenKeys] FWD: Creed 7B info

[Maurie Challinor]

Greetings all...
Further to the above postings, following is a link to the

(amateur) video I made of the 7B in action.

  There was really not much repair work (but many hours)

involved to get it to this stage, mostly cleaning and un-

freezing of components. On the question of torn ribbon repair

previously posted, I have followed wise counsel and refrained

from attempting to go down this path - half of a ribbon works

quite well. The 30 plus year-old cotton ribbon was revived by

spraying LIGHTLY with Inox MX3, a tip for which I am

indebted to an Aussie friend, Larry. When I run this machine

the sound and smell (yes, the SMELL) of it takes me back 60

years to when I was a young buck punching tape and

pounding brass in the Auckland Telegraph Office. Nostalgia

overtakes.

73 to all
