[GreenKeys] Fwd: 2x teletype sets in Alexandria VA

[Nick England]

My experience in NC (similar climate) is that an unheated garage or storage
space is fine. Mice are the only issue and that seems more of a problem in
colder areas. Moldy basements seem worse than garages.
Teletypes are remarkable survivors. I have resurrected some fairly nasty
moldy and mouse poop covered machines.
Please don’t hesitate to save these two M19’s from the scrapyard and keep
them in your garage until someone can take and restore them.
I’m strictly a M28 guy but a buddy and I sometimes take a van to hamfests
and could maybe help with future transport to places like Dayton and
Orlando.
Best regards
Nick
