Great find, Larry. I have a 28 KSR in my collection that I got the same
way about 10-12 yrs ago... or was it 15? I was driving down Main St and
noticed at the curb this 28 KSR. It was in front of a social service
agency with a TDD phone number listed on its sign, so I assume this was
their TDD machine at one point. Circled the block back to the spot and got
the machine into my car (fortunately I drive a mini-van, and the back
bumper is the perfect height for a tip-point for a 28 KSR!), with the
garbage truck within sight about a half a block or so behind me. Another
successful 11-th hour rescue of a Teletype machine.
