[GreenKeys] Pristine M28 ASR Rescue

[Don Cunningam]

Steve,

Looks great from here!!  Of course, after all this time needs a good 
cleaning, but wow, all complete and nice!  Just like we had several of 
on the ship I was on.  Those were nice and very easy to use in actual 
service.  Of course, we had a tty repairman on the ship at all times, so 
they got regular TLC.  If I could find one outfitted like that and that 
nice, I think I'd be tempted with a machine again and just have to go 
get one!
73,
Don, WB5HAK
