[GreenKeys] Mr. RTTY Schematic And Owner's Manual Needed

Wed Jul 27 20:48:30 EDT 2011

Hello friends.  As you know, Steve and Puddin came down my Chimney with a Teletype 28 KSR that I am extremely PROUD of.  I have a Mr. RTTY interface that needs a little repair.  Pots may be out of alignment.  Does anybody have a schematic and owner's manual for Mr. RTTY?  Only 300 of these were ever produced so I do not have a model number.  I am sure they were all the same anyways.  Thank you all.

Other places where the manual says > "oil-grease-oil" should get lithium grease.I use Lucas Tacky Red on all the gears and most bearings in my 28 - and so far I'm quite pleased with the results. Not aware of it being thrown off...  motor bearings and such are lubed with Mobile One.

 hole patterns, having memorized the code.  No doubt he needed readingglasses.I believe chadless tape was exclusive to Teletype.  Western Union andKleinschmidt liked to use wider tape and print the characters in themargin.  Later on Teletype developed a typing reperforator that printedbetween the feed holes.The main use of printed & perforated tape is in torn tape switchinginstallations, where the operator can read the message destination fromthe tape without having to memorize the code.  What makes memorizing thecode a little hard is that you have to memorize both LTRS and FIGS casesand then when reading the tape you have to know which case you are in.------------------------------Message: 10Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 13:03:41 -0700From: "tony j. podrasky" <tony.podrasky at gmail.com>Subject: [GreenKeys] WEATHER MACHINE - Test ITo: Green Keys <greenkeys at mailman.qth.net>Message-ID: <4E2F1D9D.9020701 at gmail.com>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"Hey
