A couple weeks ago I posted an estate auction notice for an item that
turned out to be a Teletype Corp. Wheatstone tape punch. The auction
was an hour and half drive away. But after one phone call, an email and
several back and forth texts with the auctioneer they agreed to let me
know if there were no takers. I didn't want it to go to the dump. Well
a couple days later I got a text to come and get it! Anxiously last
Tuesday my spouse and I took the road trip. I wanted to also see what
other goodies were there as they claimed it came with boxes of parts!
What I ended up with was the bare KB punch and several hundred M15/M19
parts in envelopes with 42-44 date codes. These turned out to be mostly
duplicates of springs , screws and widgets, none of the key caps or
anything of need at least for me. But, notably, I now have more than 2
dozen M19 tape punch assemblies. These are part 111022, the drop-in
replacement for 89504. They mostly are boxed and wrapped in factory
cellophane and will need some light oil to loosen up but they are new!
If you have the need, I'll make 10 available, one per customer, for $10
and that includes USA shipping. If few taker,s after a couple weeks,
I'll ask Paul if they can help him keep the fires burning on the left
coast. Might be worth shipping.
I can only speculate that what I ended with was what wouldn't fit on the
truck when the good stuff was loaded. Wish I knew where that truck went!
