[GreenKeys] M-28 TD issues

[zeke440 .]

could be a gearing issue or it could be just a simple signal generator adjustment...
You need to check the gear set to determine the transmit rate... if it matches the ASR
(because you mention the ASR and the 15 print the same garble) then look to the signal generator.
 
Easy way... friction tight the Signal Generator locking screws... loop an RY test tape... rotate the SigGen eccentric a 
little in each direction till the garble changes to RYRYR... find the "center" where the garble clears up and retighten the
sig gen locking screws...

> I looped it together with my ASR 28 and my M-15. I ran a tape through it and all that was transmitted was gibberish. The gibberish was the same on both printers. The tape I used I personall punched on my ASR 28. It was a series of FOXES and RYs. It worked and printed perfectally on both the 15 and the 28, and when I transmitted it from the 28 to the 15, it printed perfectly. But when I transmit it from the TD, it is gibberish.
