[GreenKeys] Pristine M28 ASR Rescue

Tue Jun 29 17:28:29 EDT 2021

That cord is the AC line.  It is just wrapped around through the tape spool and back down on the side of the cabinet.  Not connected to anything on the terminal lug end of the cable.

Bruce,

The tape holder for the aux pertf is on the far left (there is a cord going through it that may be disguising it.)

This is the first 28 I have seen with the typing reperf mounted where it is. Where is the tape reel for it? The one for the keyboard driven perforator is obvious.  Did you have to choose, and rethread the tape through other guides to use the typing reperf?

Interesting. Great save!  

I wonder how the under dome reperf is turned off/on. I’ve usually seen a switch on the panel there also with a tape eject button.

Well I guess the term ‘pristine’ is defined in the eyes of the owner, but the machine was recovered yesterday!

This machine was rescued from a home that had experienced a fire, but the fire never actually reached the room where the teletype was located.  The owner, a ham, always kept a blanket over the M28 when it wasn’t in use, but the fire crews did pull down the ceiling in that room, double checking there was no fire in that portion of the attic.

This M28 is in very good condition however.  The cabinet shows no signs of rust that I have discover on cursory inspection, and the paint is in excellent condition as well.  No visible scratches either.  Internally the sound deadening materials look as if they are brand new, in other words in perfect condition.  I’ve attached a couple of pics (a few more to follow, and possibly a link to a YouTube video if I decide to power it up as see how things respond).

As seen in the close-up of the keyboard, there is some debris that I think may have come from the ceiling as the blanket was knocked askew by the fire crews.  And in some of the following pics there is evidence of gypsum board dust under the hood so to speak.

Oh, and by the way, there seems to NO evidence of a smoke smell either, as it sits in the dining room with the boss’s approval!
