Steve NB3O near Winchester VA recently offered several items FTGH (Free To a
Good Home).
Nick K4NYW and John K4OZY volunteered to help pick up Steve's collection and get
it distributed to new homes.
Skip down to see what's left as of 8/6/19 - a 28KSR and other
stuff
Saturday night before the Berryville hamfest, Nick and John visited
Steve and loaded up the cargo van
|
Nick and Steve and 3 ea. 28KSRs

A look inside the van
 |
At Berryville we unloaded one KSR for display - lots of people saying
"I used to have one of those!" One or two people were wishing
they had room for it. And finally Tom KC3LKE stepped up and took it home
to join his new M19!
|
Nick, Tom and John get ready to load
 |
Tom looks pleased!
Steve's Electrocom TU also went to a greenkeyer who came by, but I
forget who - too much happening at the hamfest!
And we also redistributed a couple of Steve's HF receivers. |
After the hamfest, two 28KSRs and some misc equipment came home to
Nick's garage in NC for further redistribution
|
| One of Steve's units was a Navy TT-47. I can't
resist Navy gear so I decided to swap it for a Bell unit that I had
restored and painted gray - My old KSR is going to Ralph KU4PT
SO yesterday I hauled my Bell unit up two flights out of the basement
to the garage and hauled the Navy unit back downstairs (note: down is
easier than up). |
| Before....... |
Navy 28KSR up in the garage
 |
Bell 28KSR down in the basement
 |
| After...... |

 |
Bell units up in the garage

The light gray Bell unit above is now happy with Ralph KU4PT.
|
This leaves one more Bell 28KSR that needs a new
home. Pickup in Chapel Hill NC - or I can deliver it within a 2-hour
radius.....or haul it to Dayton/Xenia next year. Send
me email

| The
cabinet has some scuffs and an odd square hole cut in the side and covered over with a piece of
metal or plastic....But the printer and
keyboard are in good condition. I have cleaned, lubed, and tested the
printer and keyboard - everything is working nice and smooth now. I installed
60wpm gears, changed fraction keys and typebox to regular communications
style, removed the extraneous wiring, replaced some missing pieces,
etc. I have tested it using an old ribbon and
paper so you'll want to get some new. Also it still missing the info covers
at the sides of the keyboard (Teletype part 154198) |

Cabinet -covered hole on left side

The stunt box was chock full - I cut off the extra cable and
removed the low-paper switch.. It looks like SELCAL and KEYBOARD-LOCK are
disabled. It does have automatic CR-LF at end-of-line.
 |
The LESU has a big (1A) loop supply This photo was before I
removed all the extra wiring.
 |
What else is left? - I can ship these so let me
know. You pay shipping
