[GreenKeys] Teletype Model 15 Pull Bar?

[drlegendre .]

Bruce,

Welcome to the list! Several members are excellent sources of parts, and
M15-type spares are generally available. There's another non-member who
also has some bits & pieces, and I'll forward his email to you off-list.
Most if not all are in the US, but it's not all that expensive to send
lightweight parts to AUS from here.. if the shipper can find a way to keep
the shipment under USPS 1st Class Int'l. I just sent 4oz packet to Denmark
for around $4 USD.

Just wondering, how do you plan to use the TTY? Mine was originally
intended to interface with an Altair, but that didn't work out - at least
not so far.

Best,
Bill
