Steve,

Looks great from here!!  Of course, after all this time needs a good
cleaning, but wow, all complete and nice!  Just like we had several of on
the ship I was on.  Those were nice and very easy to use in actual service.
Of course, we had a tty repairman on the ship at all times, so they got
regular TLC.  If I could find one outfitted like that and that nice, I think
I'd be tempted with a machine again and just have to go get one!
73,

Well I guess the term 'pristine' is defined in the eyes of the owner, but
the machine was recovered yesterday!

 

This machine was rescued from a home that had experienced a fire, but the
fire never actually reached the room where the teletype was located.  The
owner, a ham, always kept a blanket over the M28 when it wasn't in use, but
the fire crews did pull down the ceiling in that room, double checking there
was no fire in that portion of the attic.

 

This M28 is in very good condition however.  The cabinet shows no signs of
rust that I have discover on cursory inspection, and the paint is in
excellent condition as well.  No visible scratches either.  Internally the
sound deadening materials look as if they are brand new, in other words in
perfect condition.  I've attached a couple of pics (a few more to follow,
and possibly a link to a YouTube video if I decide to power it up as see how
things respond).

 

As seen in the close-up of the keyboard, there is some debris that I think
may have come from the ceiling as the blanket was knocked askew by the fire
crews.  And in some of the following pics there is evidence of gypsum board
dust under the hood so to speak.

 

Oh, and by the way, there seems to NO evidence of a smoke smell either, as
it sits in the dining room with the boss's approval!
