[GreenKeys] FW: Teletype model 28 question from Russ in Michigan

[John, W9DDD]

If you package each component separately, then you get there. Perhaps 
Jim H can provide more light, but in the early days of the model 28 (and 
prior), you'd order sets by the component parts.  E. g.  A cabinet, a 
keyboard, a typing unit and electrical service unit.  Then add any other 
accessories to that like side mount copy holder, paper winder etc.

Add mil spec packing and you really get more weight.  I have a LMU3 in 
the garage that is mil spec packed.  Just for giggles, I ought to go get 
it and weight it to see how much the packaging adds.

You said "tomorrow" yesterday.
