[GreenKeys] Greenkeys Night

[Herb Graeber]

Jim I agree with you that it would be fun.  But, a 2975
cps space tone and these modern rice boxes?  I know
there are ways aound it.  :>)  However, I'll go with my
Model 28 and 2125/2295.  (I don't know if my old
W2JAV type terminal unit works or not.)  I guess I
could use the ST-6 on 850 cycle shift.  Anyway, sounds
like fun.
