[GreenKeys] 28ASR Keyboard Question

[Doug Alderdice]

Hello Group,

In preparation for making some punched tape for a greenkeys demo that a 
friend will be doing soon I was working with my 28ASR that I haven't spent 
a lot of time with since I acquired it over a year ago.  After an afternoon 
of fiddling with the wiring, pulling the punch out and cleaning a paper 
path that had some crusted yuck on it, and general futzing and swearing 
over it I have it running just dandy.  However I noticed that the 
keyboard's space bar has an autorepeat to it if you press the bar way down, 
almost like a second touch on an organ keyboard.

None of my other 28s (three KSRs) do this.  Is this a feature of the ASR 
keyboard or an add-on option, or...?  And, can I disable it -- easily?  I 
am not that good of a typist and find myself getting lots of extra spaces 
at times because I mash the bar down too hard.  I peered into the keyboard 
mechanism whilst typing and saw what was getting activated when I would 
push the space bar down all the way, but didn't see readily what I could do 
to keep the repeat from kicking in.

Any thoughts or ideas from the ones who serviced these in their 
heyday?  Oh, and you can see a photo of it and some of my other greenkey 
machines at http://www.pce.net/dalderdi/telegrph.htm

Tnx es 73,

Doug, KA2WFT
