[GreenKeys] Teletype Part Numbers

[ad7i]

Thank you Nick.

For the ribbon thingy I've been using a piece of genuine Bell System waxed
lacing cord for about the last 25 years, cut to length and tied into a loop
with about six granny knots.  It's been working fine but I've always
worried that it will break at some point, and wondered if the correct part
is available.  I still have about three lifetimes worth of lacing cord, so
I guess I could always make another.  But I like the idea of a wide shoe
lace.  And I like the yoga mat idea as well.  I had looked at sheet felt
but that seems pretty pricey in the size and thickness needed.

Best,

Paul
