[GreenKeys] Model 28s and 15s available in SE Michigan

[Steve Ripper]

Ralph:

Thank you for this note. I just finished visiting Bob and Melanie and they
accepted my offer for all the machines and the miscellaneous stuff, such as
6 cases of paper and 2 boxes of paper tape and other stuff. I gave them a
deposit and will be making the pickup next weekend. I will post photos of
all the items once I get them to my temporary workshop which is located in
an unused backroom at my day job office.

Cheers,
Steve Ripper
