[GreenKeys] teletype...Whhhyyy?!

[Joe Duszyński]

It's also like some of the very odd UNEF threads in the Teletype
machines "Why".....
Just to be difficult is my only thought!
The NF Fine and NC Coarse are easy to find/source at a hardware store
but the NEF Extra Fine are a specialty screw like gun screws you
typically have to get them from whomever made them unless you have a
lathe or dies and make them yourself.

But.......
If you want an "entire machine" of special screws try a Creed,
everything in it is BA
British Association screw threads....
