[GreenKeys] 173979 Print Head Available

[Nick England]

Kudos to Daniel and his pal for solving a long-standing problem. I'll make
up a web page showing how to install the print head.
For those who haven't experienced this problem (yet), the original print
lever/hammer on the Model 28 typing perf/reperf was all steel, but
evidently because of typewheel wear, Teletype switched to a steel lever
with a plastic head around 1960. Almost all the original plastic heads have
disintegrated by now, leaving you with a non-typing perf/reperf...

Specification 50029S covers the modification to change from steel to
plastic - but I don't have a copy. If you can help, I'd appreciate it.

Yours in teletypery,
Nick England K4NYW
