[GreenKeys] Odd Lorenz motor behavior

[Duncan Brown]

Jeff,

I wouldn't worry about the 60/66 wpm speed difference.  I copy DDK 
(running 67 wpm) on 10.099 Mc on a 60 wpm machine. A faster machine 
copying a slower signal should be even better.  Won't be optimum, but a 
Range adjustment tweak can help.

If you can get the governor under control, you could just use the speed 
control to slow down the machine.  (might be hard to calibrate it 
without a strobe, but again, it is not that critical).

Or you should be able to take Ed's suggestion and just replace the motor 
with one from a M15.

Have fun,

Duncan
