[GreenKeys] Free Teletype machines

[Barrie Britton]

I have a few Teletype machines that I don't have time to use or 
maintain, but I really don't want to see them wind up in a local land 
fill.  These are free to a loving home.   I have a Model 15 (I think) 
that used to work, a Model 28 KSR that used to work, a Model 28 Typing 
Reperf,  a Model 43K (condition unknown), and a nice current-metered 
home-brew loop supply.

The Model 28 KSR was working on the local loop the last time I tested 
it, but that was 15 or 20 years ago.  I'd suspect it needs cleaning and 
adjustment, but all the parts are there and it worked fine.  The Model 
15 was working, but the carriage return spring tension was accidentally 
released and never restored.  The spring is not broken, but I don't know 
how to set it properly.  The Model 28 Typing Reperf was last used about 
20 years ago by a personal friend, but I cannot verify the present 
condition.  It looks pretty clean inside.

The Model 43 condition is totally unknown, but I'd  almost guarantee 
that it needs work.  It was given to me and has never been tested.

The loop supply is mounted on a rack panel and worked fine when last 
used.  I have several factory manuals, some TTY paper, and some punch 
tape rolls.  You get it all.

Here are my terms:
     1.  Price is FREE.
     2.  I cannot crate or ship these.  They are very heavy and will 
require a large SUV or pickup truck to move.  You must supply the 
vehicle and the manpower.
     3.  I can provide limited help in loading the machines into your 
vehicle, but I'm 84 so don't expect a lot.
     4.  I live in Riverside, CA (about 60 miles East of L.A. and 35 
miles East of Orange County).  You must pick up HERE.
     5.  I want all the machines to go; if you take one, you take them all.

I have attached to this posting a jpeg file with pictures of all the 
units, but I can't guarantee that the attachment will make it through 
the mail list.  If you want the photos but don't see the attachment, 
send me an email request and I'll forward the file to you.  The machines 
will go to whoever asks first and can pick the machines up the soonest.

I'm Barrie, W6DX, and I'm good in QRZ.  Please reply directly to my
