An FYI for the List - I'm not affiliated in any way - and I already have
one of these beasties; a nice, solid machine...

Subject: [GreenKeys] Model 35KSR anyone??
Greenkeyers,
I have a very nice full-size Teletype Model 35KSR available.
The typing unit appears to have never been used. Everything works,
and the machine has the standard 20 ma. interface. The thing weighs
about 150 lbs and shipping won't be cheap...but you know that!
I will part with this treasure for $35 and can recommend a shipper.
I can send pictures to anyone interested, but you'll have to
wait until the weekend (when I'm at a home).
Reason for selling: I need the space...for some reason my wife would
like to park her car in the garage this winter(!). So, as I move
stuff out of the garage and into the radio room, things are getting
tight. When a difficult TTY decision has to be made, ASCII
goes first! It is being replaced with two TT-4's and a TT-76
(Kleinschmidt's) and a complete AN/GRC-106 HF radio setup.
(if you do the math, you'll notice that the newly-added stuff will
take up more room than the 35...I said it was getting tight!)
If interested, let me know...offer good only to Greenkeyers.
If you come to pick up it (near Albany, NY) you might get some
other goodies thrown into the deal.
Otherwise, off to Ebay.
73,
Jack WA2HWJ
NNNN

Hi all -
I've used the "norprene tygon tubing" hack to fix my tu-58 drives but
now I'm faced with an Archive Viper 1/4" drive with a *seriously* gooey
rubber roller...
Has anyone gone the route of ordering a replacement part? Or shoud I
just try a smaller diameter piece of tygon tubing? :-)
I think I'd like a 'real' part if those can be had. Advice?

I've been receiving messages out of order: I'm seeing
the responses well in advance of the original messages.
Why would the list software do that?

I have a mystery card to identify within a pile of miscellaneous cards
acquired recently. On the card is printed "DAD-48 Computer Dynamics, Inc.
1985." The cable jack is a 50-pin female. I am having trouble locating
specifics on the web, and I have looked everywhere. Where might one use
this card? Is it PCI SCSI?
A picture is worth a thousand words. Here is a page I put up with some
pictures

Thanks in advance.

Well, that's odd, because none of the ones I've ever seen are anything
but grey! Mine are all plain grey, no colour, as are the three I've
sold or given away in the last five years. All the ones I used to
service when I worked for a TPM company were plain grey too.

For over a year now, my (and a few thousand others) website is on-topic
for the CC lists. I don't have a copy of my 1993 website, but it's close
to the copy I have from April 1994:
http://wps.com/archives/wps.com.11Apr1994/
(The content is, let's say, a bit rough, in more than one way at a time,
but So It Goes. I do find my obsession with file size amusing though,
but this was a 16K bits/sec "nailup" SLIP connection to the Little
Garden. Alas, the gopher server [remember when gopher was the killer net
app after email?] was taken down by 1995. The 'about wps' link describes
the hardware & software, in use Jan 1994, which seems today much todo
about nothing.)

Hi der Mouse
I have a IIIsi that I fiddle with every now and then. I also
have an official service manual ( not much help for anything ).
I suspect that they think that anyone working on one of these
would be factory trained. Other than the occational cleaning
and a problem with the last toner/drum assembly, mine works
well. The only major failure I've had is the input card failed.
( a bummer since it was one of the harder to get parallel/serial
cards and not the easy to get ethernet cards ).
I've gotten some aftermarket RAM and put rediculously large amounts
of RAM in it. It also has Postscript, a duplexer ( I got from ebay )
and an envelope feeder ( also from ebay ).
Smoke is a bad sign. Good luck.
Dwight
PS
While in the service, I had the nickname of "Mouse". It
was because anytime anyone with gold braid on their cap
would enter an area that I was in, I'd find a piece of
equipment to hide behind. It was noted that I was like
a mouse.

I should have a spare or two. But this is just not the time of year for me to find them and get them shipped. Too busy with the Haunted House. Can it wait until November?
