[GreenKeys] Model 15 KSR in eBay

[Teletypeparts]

UPS seems to be famous for doing exactly what happened to your 15 in the crate.  I try to us Fed Ex ground when I have control over the shipping.

The Model 15 I got off eBay Sunday night arrived UPS today!
Even though it was crated in wood and had an obvious top and bottom. UPS managed to drop it on the top and bust the top of the crate off.
Luckily, there was no damage and the base of the TTY just got jammed into the cover from the force. A little prying and it came off.
Looks like it was made in 1959, so a pretty new one, also judging from the style of the selector magnets.


The dashpot was froze, but a little prying and some oil and it seems to do what it's supposed to.


After some cleaning and oiling, I fired it up and could only get blank's when wired locally. 
Probably some more wiring to do. May hook it up to the TD and try to narrow down if the keyboard contacts are just really dirty.


Anyway, I'm eager to get it up and running. It's been nearly 35 years since I've had one running.
73,
