[GreenKeys] New to RTTY, looking for equipment

[Jordan Spencer Cunningham]

Collin,

I'm located in Utah County. Depending just how far south and how far east or west in Idaho you are, I may only be two to three hours' drive from you. I happen to have a few machines that are in want of a new home as I must face the reality that I will likely never get around to working on them.

Anyone else on GreenKeys is also welcome to put their name in for these machines, but I put them on GK a few months ago with few realistic prospects due to distance.

I still have a 28 KSR or two and probably a Model 19. Maybe two. Probably not perfect working order, but likely close. Email me directly if interested.

Ebay prices are usually the pipe dream of the seller, though I have vastly overpaid plus freight shipping a couple of times for my own reasons. If you wait long enough or are willing to go far enough, you can likely find a good repairable or plug-and-play specimen for $100 or less, or free.
