Greenkeys de WA3IVX /NNN0BVN PA
I am in need for some parts for a MITE. The following are needed:
A. a drive gear for 100 WPM (the plastic one) I would not turn down a 75
WPM gear if one was available, as long as a 100 WPM gear came along with
said 75 WPM gear.
B. If some Greenkeyer has a excess to their needs front cover,
preferably in Navy Gray, Please let me know what you desire in terms of
price, etc. My cover has a ding, and as Murphy is alive and operating,
it is right over the 4 function buttons, which stick in operation.
While they can be straightened, I would like to acquire a backup incase
there becomes a problem during the straightening process
C. I would also appreciate a MITE manual. This does not have to be an
oniginal, a copy will be just fine, if you have such an item, please
advise cost of copying and shipping, and funds will be sent forthwith.
D. If anyone has a source for the .1A mini fuse I would appreciate
knowing the source. I am now running a kludged arrangement using an
inline fuse holder, which, while perfectly satisfactory from an
operational standpoint, it is not the original. I would like to have a
source for the miniature fuses which are used in the MITE. If you know
of a source, please advise.
M28ASR material:
I am in need of several items for a M28ASR, as I own a "bare bones" unit
which was used for TDD, and therefore has nothing in the lower cabinet.
I therefore require the following
A. A Typing Perforator
B. A Typing Reperforator, with mounting hardware, tape reel, and the
front plate with the tape exit tube
C. A set of 100WPM gears, or better yet, a 3 speed gearshift assembly.
Again, I would not be averse to a set of 75 WPM gears as long as they
came with a set of 100 WPM gears, I would, however, prefer the gearshift
assembly.
D, A Line/Local switch, along with the actuator lever.
E. The standard complement of parts (ESU's, etc) for the lower part of
the case. A stunt box would not be amiss either. I also require a
complete wiring harness for a complete M28ASR as the one which I posess
does not have any connections for components in the lower case.
F. A set of polar relays both for a M28ASR and a M14ROTR. I would also
appreciate several additional polar relays along with sockets of any
marque for experimental purposes.
G, A "Line Unit" preferably for an M15, however any line unit will be
satisfactory, as I plan to use it for setting the bias for the above
mentioned polar relays.
H. Both lenses for a M28, the copy lamp lens and the end of line warning
indicator.
I.. A set of M28ASR manuals, specifically for the Printer assembly, the
Typing Perforator, and the Chassis wiring/ESU/Stunt box interconnection.
Copies are entirely satisfactory,.I do not need originals.
J. If anyone has ribbons for the above machines, I would be interested
in acquiring same. I know that I can purchase reinker ink but I would
like some spares. Underwood ribbons are hard to come by from Staples or
Office Max in this area.
M28KSR or skintight or rack mounted unit.
A. I would appreciate acquiring one of the above units within pickup
distance of the Philadelphia area. I also would appreciate a paper
take-up reel assembly for the above.
M14ROTR
A. If someone has an excess set of magnets for the above unit, I would
appreciate hearing from them regarding price. Mine have had the terminal
strip broken off, and although operational, I don't trust the
connections to the magnets, and as I am restoring the unit to original
condition, I would like a complete set of magnets in original configuration.
AN/URA-17
A. I require two sets of connectors for the input/output of said unit,
including the power input connectors (2 sets), the audio input
connectors (2 sets) and the loop output connectors (2 sets).
I do not require the BNC connectors, as they are available anywhere locally.
19" Relay Rack
A. I require 2 19" relay rack assemblies. The configuration (closed
rear, front rails only, etc) is immaterial. Any 19" rack will do. I
would even appreciate a short rack which could fit on a table, as I only
intend to mount 2 AN/URA-17's and 2 Dovetron TEMPEST TU's. A pickup near
the Philadelphia area would be desirable to avoid high shipping costs.
I appreciate any help that any member of the Greenkey list can provide.

Upper Darby, PA 19082-1306
Telephone, as I usually carry my cell around for convenience, the number
is (610) 357-3427,
If, for some reason, I do not answer, leave a short message, and I will
return your call. I have an unlimited long distance plan, and there is
absolutely no reason for you to run up a high long distance tab.
Fax: (610) 446-0357 available 24/7/365
Home Landline (610) 446-5871. I screen my calls to avoid telemarketers,
and idjits who routinely dial the wrong number, drunk, at 0-dark-30.
You will get my answering machine. As I have stated above, I will
return your call ASAP, and since I have an unlimited long distance plan,
there is no reason to run up a high long distance tab calling this
number. Just leave your name and phone number and disconnect. I will
return your call..
Again, thanks much for anyone who can be of assistance in supplying any
or all of these components. Please contact me with desired price and
shipping cost to my QTH, except for the items (the KSR and relay racks)
which I would pickup. Since I am disabled, having had 8 spinal surgeries
and am looking at #9, shipping is rather important to me. I will be able
to pick up the units listed. If anyone has any of the other components
in the Philadelphia area (no particular mileage limit here) I would be
willing to pick up any or all of said equipment.
73 es tnx de Greg Moore NNN0BVN PA / WA3IVX
P.S. I am also in the market for an R390A and an R1051, so if anyone has
one that they want to sell or otherwise dispose of, I would be
interested. In addition, if ANYONE knows the whereabouts of a
telegrapher's mill, preferably ex Navy, with all caps and the stroked 0,
I would be interested in acquiring same. There is a possibility that I
may be in the market for numerous quantities of these mills for use in
the restoration of the USS America (CV/CVA-66) once our museum
foundation has a firm commitment to acquire the ship as a museum.
I would appreciate all hands to go to our website at
http://www.ussamerica-museumfoundation,org , read the information
concerning the plight of the ship as it now stands, and sign the online
petition to help save this historic vessel. There is also a downloadable
petition in both MS Word and Adobe .pdf format which is printable and
can be passed around. There is an email address of our Secretary, who
will provide an address to send the filled out petitions. We do not have
addresses listed on the website for obvious security reasons. I also
ask all hands to write/phone/fax their legislators and the other
contacts listed on the site under "What Can I Do To Help Save the USS
America" and besiege them with contacts. Any and all help in this matter
will be more than greatly appreciated. As Preservations Officer and
Webmaster, I thank you all in advance for your help in this noble cause.
This is one carrier that has served in every conflict from Vietnam
through Bosnia, and has gone in harms way in each and every deployment.
She was decommissioned in 1996 under rather strange circumstances,
subjected to an extremely odd strip ship, where equipment was simply
thrown in dumpsters, and now sits ignominiously, chained to a pier at
the NAVSEA inactive ships facility at the old Philadelphia Naval
Shipyard, which is now closed. She does not deserve this dishonorable
end. All efforts are appreciated.
Again, thanks much in advance for your efforts!!
