Hey Eugene.. yeah mine is a splendid metallic green/blue... rather futuristic (if you ignore the fact that my "restoration" thus far has been a pig's breakfast 😀)

First, anyone recognize this piece of metal? It was inside my 28ASR and is painted the right color. But I can’t figure out where it came from or where it goes?

Second, I can definitely recommend every few years to open up the bottom of your 28ASR and see what you stored in there and long forgot about! I opened mine up today after about 10 years and found somethings I thought I had lost long ago. Including the reel from a motorized paper tape take up unit. I thought it was long lost from a time when I rented the machine to a TV production. I

Next thing I found was this wooden switch thingy I made probably 13 years ago to switch the transmitter from receive to transmit and also put the ST-6 into STANDBY mode to keep current flowing regardless of any audio input it might receive.

Third, I noticed there is a slot in the rear of both my ASR and KSR that appears to be for paper?
