[GreenKeys] Thanks to Mrs. P. Grey + Wanted: Comptometer mdl. 'J' keys

[drlegendre .]

First and foremost - I need to express my sincere thanks to both Mrs. P.
Gray and the helpful list-member who put us in-touch. She was so kind as to
send me a Model 'J' F&T Comptometer, simply for the asking.. what a lovely
person! For the better part of twenty years, I've had a desire to own &
play with one of these remarkable devices - but until this date, I've never
run across even a single example..

Turns out that not only is the machine fully functional, but it's in
+almost+ complete condition, lacking only the following items:

1) An 'ivory' 09 key-cap
2) The red 'unlock' button.

Can anyone help out with these little items? The missing 09 key is
octagonal in shape, and is of a very yellowed ivory-colored plastic
material. If it matters, it's from the top row, furthest from the result
windows.

Finally, I'm having an issue figuring out one thing.. are the little hollow
'rivets' on the top plate actually oiling holes? I count 22 on this model J
machine.

Thanks,
Bill
