Hi all,
i have a model 15 in bad shape and am contemplating taking it apart for
parts and scraping the rest. there is a lot of rust and quite a few
springs are broken by rust. this is the cast iron base version.
besides the key caps, are there any parts worth keeping?
other option is that it is ready for pickup in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
it is missing quite a few key caps (gone to the model 14) and its (very
heavy) bottom plate and the case has been painted bright green hamerite
kind of paint. the crank is included.
its place will be taken by a very nice tektronix 545A scope as i have a
few other electro-mechanical printers (model 14, siemens t37g, t100,
flexowriters)
imho it is not worth restoring as almost all the springs are brittle an
need to be replaced, but it is running.
