Byron,

I have seen carboned rolls in government surplus sales with up to three 
copies, each one on a different color of paper. With four layers of 
paper and three carbons, I don't know how long a typebox would last.

Wish I had room for a couple of units. Back in the 70's, I would buy 
pallets of surplus equipment, fix it up and sell it at swap meets. In 
Hawaii at that time, a working KSR set was worth about $100. Most were 
M19 or Kleinschmidt, but occasionally a M28 would show up. I also 
serviced a few M33 sets for a radio station. They used them to program 
and log their automated tape machines.
