-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --
I have a Telectric 2068 patented in January of 1897. I have
a blueprint of the magnets for the keys, "redrawn especially for
the Vestal Press by Daniel L. Schacher". I am trying to find any
other information I can on the machine.
Is there a manual or anyone who can service this type of unit?
It is a family treasure and I would love to restore it. Thanks
for your help.

[ According to historians Bob & Ginny Billings, the name of the
[ firm was Tel-Electric Company. "Telelectric", without the hyphen,
[ was later applied to the 65-note model, and "Telektra" was the
[ rare 88-note model. A 1912 Tel-Electric advert is reproduced at
