>>About a year ago, The Maritime Radio Historical Society was donated 
>>a Model 28ASR in excellent condition.  Yesterday, I got it going at 
>>the KPH receive site (see URL below for more information on the KPH 
>>project).
>>
>>After loading the machine with new paper and tape and two new 
>>ribbons it was working flawlessly.
>>
>>But then, while punching a tape, I noted a change of tone in when 
>>the reperforator operated.  Closer inspection revealed that the 
>>tape was still being punched but letters were not being typed on 
>>the tape.  The tape drum extended forward and spun with each 
>>letter, but no letter appeared on the tape.
>>
>>We don't have a manual for the reperforator, but hope to soon. 
>>meanwhile, do any of the Model 28 experts have a diagnosis or 
>>suggestions about where to look for the problem?
