[GreenKeys] Fwd: Re: Teletypes in NW Oregon

Wed Mar 18 20:33:11 EDT 2020

I am new to GreenKeys but I spotted a Chad Box in the pictures.  I am working to restore a Model 33 and would love to get it.  Unfortunately I am in Los Angeles and would be an 18 hour drive (each way).  Willing to contribute to recover it.  This type of place is almost magical with the history it contains.
