[GreenKeys] I bought a "Model 19" on eBay, and need some advice!

[Dan Schlegel]

Good evening,

A week or so ago someone posted about some Model 14/15 stuff on eBay, and I
was lucky enough to win a few of the items. Of note was a "Model 19"...
Well, a Model 19 top with broken glass and what looks to me like a Model 15
underneath.

I just received the item and unfortunately it didn't do well. I was worried
as soon as I saw the box they used that said "Ultra-Light Bulky Stuff" on
the side. The keyboard surround was shattered and the keyboard itself was
all bent up. Except for the A key, all of the key tops survived, at least.
After some somewhat unpleasant back-and-forth with the seller, it seems my
shipping will be refunded, so I will have only paid $20 for the thing. But
now the question becomes: what do I do with it?

Is it possible to convert a Model 15 to a Model 19 by replacing the
keyboard base with that from a 19, and adding the perforator / counter? If
so, that sounds like a lot of fun. Then the question becomes: does anyone
have any of the parts I need? :). (If not, then I guess I have spare parts
for my 15, and a cover for a 19 I will hope to someday acquire!)

Happy Halloween :)
