[GreenKeys] TTY equipment stash - clarification

[Paul Heller]

I remember Jack Hart told me he once brought one home in the trunk of a Dodge Dart. Probably loaded and unloaded it by himself. 

It is very heavy but two people can handle it. If it has the extra dome reperf it is even heavier!  One thing you can do is take the typing unit and keyboard out. That makes a big difference.

Most of those who inquired have asked that I 'keep in touch'.  The problem is for me trying to keep track of "who did what to who and who got the two dollars", so to speak.  There were inquiry(s) from individuals who appear to be looking for 'stock' for their 'stores'.  I think the most fair way would be for all to post their responses openly on the Forum, that way there can be cooperation arranging pickup (e.g., after Hamfest?).  I feel uncomfortable 'picking' or designating the person who gets the lot.  Please work it out among yourselves.  My interest is getting this equipment to those who will appreciate and use it.  It was never my intention that this material be used for monetary gain.  Granted, once it is out of my hands, I don't have much say in the matter.  Make sense ?    Doc Bill W8NTZ
