[GreenKeys] Tape Auto transmitter CREED 6S5

[Pete Pennington]

Thanks Gil and Sam for getting me into this group. i did not know that it 
existed

I certainly now have my 6s5 running but  that is not the end of the story.

I have a long way to go yet!

For example. The machine should run at 1500 but the only govenor I have is 
3000.
What mechanically is the difference.
Is the spring weaker in the 1500 or is the moving contact heavier?
If my  logic is correct both these things would make to run slower. ....

Hi Pete:

Thanks for dropping me a line.  I took the liberty of adding you to the
greenkeys email list (you can unsubscribe at any time), as there are
folks here on the list who know much more about Creed machines that I
do.

Sam Hallas, who is also in the UK (though I'm not certain how close he
is to you), will likely have some to say about Creeds.  Sam?

I hope we can help you get your machines running.
