Wow - and what a day we had!    I don’t know where to begin but I feel honored to have been so generously equipped and (intensely!!) tutored  by Steve (N4TTY) and Nick (N0NCQ.)

I am embarking on my Model 28 journey as a complete novice, but after today I feel I am going to get off to a great start.  I also took a good number of photos and video clips so reassembly shouldn’t be too daunting.  
Will post my progress to greenkeys!

Cheers
Andy

Ps almost forgot to mention: I did my inaugural transmission today via the Stone Mtn repeater using my new call sign under Steve’s tutelage 😀😎

Andy has quite a bit of work ahead of him getting it all back together and figuring out a myriad of extra wiring that has been added to this machine over the ages.  The machine was picked up, along with several others, on the Great East Coast (to mid-America) Teletype Picking Trip that my wife and I made several years ago.  Nothing had been done to the machines ever since I picked them up, so they are in a totally unknown working condition.  We did quite a bit of picking and choosing amongst all my “spares” to build a machine that even includes an Aux Reperf.  So once he gets everything figured out he is going to have one awesome machine.  And it even has a BLUE painted cabinet that I think is the original paint from Teletype, although it is the only one I’ve ever seen that wasn’t Navy Gray or that off Green almost all USAF machines were painted.
