[GreenKeys] M15 parts needed

[Duncan M. Brown]

The AWA Museum did a public demonstration of WWII communications for
Veteran's Day.  In checking out two M15s for the demo, I discovered a
couple of broken parts on them. I was able to cannibalize another unit for
the demo, but now I would like to get that unit back together.   Does
anyone have the following that could be made available to us:

-- "Right Margin Adjusting Screw Arm"  This is an arm that hangs down on
the left side of the carriage that holds an adjustment screw that
determines the right margin.  The arm is spring-loaded and must be pivoted
out of the way to remove the carriage. (with the arm broken off, the only
thing keeping the carriage from going off the right end of the rails is the
carriage return belt tension.  Of course I learned of this the hard way!!)

-- "Ribbon Reverse Bail"  This is a 3" u-shaped piece of metal with sharp
ends and two mounting holes. It mounts on the bottom of the carriage and
switches the drive from one ribbon take-up reel to the other.

-- "Carriage Return Belt"  This is the belt that pulls the carriage back to
the left margin.  If these are not available, any suggestions on a
reliable, "field expedient" replacement?? (shoe lace, dial cord, etc. ??)

Thanks,
