[GreenKeys] Tape Printer

[Joe Herdler]

Hi again,
It is a model 28. I was told that it is (as opposed to e-bay speak, where everything is "rare") that it is sort of rare among Model 28 devices. It does not have a type basket like a Model 14/15, rather the print head is a cylinder and rotates to position the letter to strike the ribbon.
Much quieter than the model 15 mailbox that I have.
Best,
Joe

 I didn't catch which type tape printer you've got Joe.  Do you think
it's a model 14: http://www.baudot.net/teletype/M14.htm
Or maybe a 2B like on this page: http://ka2wft.net/telegrph/
Or something like this:http://www.baudot.net/teletype/M31.htm

Just curious,
