I whole hearty agree with Paul.
I saw the condition Jack's machine came back in, and that was after I (stupidly) agreed to loan a machine to a production company in Manhattan. Any $$ you get will go directly to Mr. RTTY for replacement parts - if he has them.

To those who are new here… we’ve heard plenty of tales of destroyed machines. Jack Hart had a very rare model 28ASR that was destroyed (he never shared that publicly) and others have publicly shared similar stories.
If you decide to go after this, make sure YOU go with the machine and have some kind of supervisory rights (hard to get)

The AWA recently received the following request:***************************Name*jose pavon*Email*[email protected]*Comment or Message*Hello There,My name is Jose Pavon, the Prop Master on a television show based in New York titled the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. We are currently on our 5th season and we are looking for a vintage teletype machine for one of our sets, I was hoping that maybe you guys can help us source one or guide us in the right direction as far as what would be ideal equipment that would work in our scene. Please let me know if there is a good number where you might be reached.thanks in advance**************************I spoke to Jose and they are looking for a machine for a TV Studio set in 1960. They would like to lease or buy a machine. I offered to sell them a M28 we have that is without a printer for $100, that I thought would be good for a prop. But Jose would like something that works and apparently acts like a real machine (spitting out paper).The AWA Museum does not have a working M28 we want to get rid of and I told him that having the machine operational would be more complicated and they could just fake the printing. But he came back to me this AM saying they would really like something operational and could I help him find a working machine. So I told him I'd list it here on Greenkeys.So, anyone have a working M15 or M28 they would like to lease out or sell to Jose?(Warning - there have been some horror stories of people who leased out equipment to movie or TV production companies and when they got their machine back, it was pretty beaten up. So selling a unit would be the best way to go and then they don't have to pay to send it back.)If you have something to offer Jose, please email him directly at [email protected]Thanks & 73,DuncanK2OEQ______________________________________________________________GreenKeys mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/greenkeysHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:[email protected]Jordan Spencer Cunningham's GreenKeys Search Tool: https://teletype.net/gksearch
