[GreenKeys] Howdy & Kleinschmidt TT-4

[Steve]

Howdy folks. I'm new to the list but not RTTY. Back in the mid
to late 1960's I had quite a setup including a model 15, homebrew
converter, and BC-779 receiver. Even bought an FGC-5 one piece
at a time from Fair Radio. Wish I had kept THAT! Had most
fun intercepting API and UP news, but ran Gonset equipment
on 6 meters AM too locally.

Now I'm semi-retired and getting back into ham radio and RTTY.
Just picked up a Kleinschmidt TT-4 printer that has been in
storage for decades. Nice condition but its been fighting me
every step of the way (gunk, misadjusted, etc). I'm stuck with
the carriage....won't feed or return no matter what I do.

If anyone is still using one of these I'd like to get an idea of the
amount of resistance needed to move the carriage.

Also have a MITE waiting to be resurrected.
