[GreenKeys] More cleaning up!

Sat Aug 10 17:54:42 EDT 2019

Hi Ralph,

I've been looking for the sockets and a bunch of those look correct. 
It's for a Heathkit Model EC-1 Analog computer.

I got three from Dan Karg, Thanks Dan, that promptly, for what I hope is 
a temporary situation, disappeared in my desk clutter.

I'll take you up on your offer if still available. I can count in 
decimal, binary, octal or hexadecimal. I'd probably prefer decimal in 
this situation.

I'll email you off list too.

Here is the computer and a closeup detail.
