It's been a while since I've posted here; hello again!

I'm just back from a trip which turned into something of a keyboard
and tape binge - many Teletypesetter keyboards and punches and some 
Monotype keyboard equipment.  I've done a quick writeup of that for those
of you who might be interested.

But the real reason I'm posting is that the place where I acquired
the TTS equipment (Jackson Typesetting, in Jackson, Michigan)
still has some items of potential interest to Greenkeyers.

It also has a couple of vintage computer items which need to find
good homes.  Some of you are involved with the vintage computer
collecting community (or know people who are).  If you could please
pass this information on to them, I'd be grateful.  There's
a rather unusual Fairchild tape-justifying computer there which
really should be preserved.  I wish I could, but I'm kind of
maxed-out right now.

Here's a quick list of the items available:
   - One TTY Model 33
   - 13 BRPE punches, some not compete;
     presumed configured for 6-level
   - A Fairchild Compset 2300 tape-justifying computer
   - A Data General Nova/4 minicomputer
   - Front panels from a Data General Nova 1200

Here's a link to a writeup with photographs of this equipment,
along with a rundown of the TTS, Flexowriter, and Lanston Monotype
equipment that I did get.
