[GreenKeys] Parts to Change 28 KSR to RO

[Brenda Gentry]

I am learning what to ask for. I am starting to believe I need an RO 
base with the plastic front piece that is much smaller than a KSR. I get 
the impression if I can find an RO base all I would need to do is remove 
the KSR base with all of the keyboard and transmitting parts, install 
the RO base, and move the typer, motor and speed gears to the RO base. 
This conversion would be considered a downgrade, but space is critical 
and I need  RO only in this case.
