[GreenKeys] Model 31

[John]

   Greetings Greenkeyers!

A Model 31, in the Western Union 'clamshell' case, (and incidentally the 
copy-holder), has shown up in my shack.

(Along with 10 [count 'em! t-e-n!] MITES, a bunch of Kleinschmidts, a 
Model 32, etc etc - more on this later...).

I took it out of the case, gave it some light oil in as many places as I 
could find, then - after turning it over by hand for a while - plugged 
it in to my loop and switched 'er on.

Then I dialed in ITTY, and behold! It prints nicely! Woo Hoo!! In fact 
it's almost flawless, save that I think the capstan has a couple of 
slick spots, because it over-prints occasionally at random times.


    Attached are a couple of shots of it putting ITTY down on the paper 
tape - I also took some video to upload to my Vimeo site later.


And now to plow thru all those MITE units.....


Cheers
