[GreenKeys] Teletype model 14 typing reperf platen replacement

[Paul Heller]

Hi Harold,  

I hope you are well and enjoying Tucson. You you have missed a hot summer in Arvada, but you probably have a hot summer there as well.

May I ask that if you order this part, you ask him if he has more than one? I also need one. 

Thanks Harold. 

73,
Paul
