[GreenKeys] Model 28 ASR Info

[Bill Terrell]

Before the Dayton Hamfest, Nick England and a friend stopped at my QTH 
to pick up a bunch of TTY machines including a 28ASR to re-distribute.  
They were grunting and straining, removed some of the innards and 
finally got it into the back of Nick's van.  My observation and 
interpretation = ONE HEAVY MUTHA !!  Two men AT LEAST.  Up stairs ? Hire 
a moving crew, its worth it by the time you spend a week nursing a sore 
back.   IMHO
