[GreenKeys] FW: My model 26

[Frank Carraro]

  Jim,
      I have the cd's of the many Teletype manuals you sent me some time
ago, but nothing showing how the paper roll was constructed.  There is a
name plate on the rear of the typing unit that says "Bell telephone
Service", so that may make a difference.  The typing unit comes off the base
with three thumb bolts similar to a 15, and the base has a keyboard very
similar to a 15 with the clutch, cam and contacts driven by a gear on the
typer, but no sign of any roll holder.  I figured out that the modification
was to return the carriage alright, but had no idea it was a widely
installed mod.
	I ordered a couple of rolls from the e-bay paper guy, and I need to find a
ribbon.  The one on the machine is dry, but looks OK otherwise.  I am amazed
that the machine seems to turn over so smoothly and everything seems to work
freely.
i'm going to re-wire it and turn it on tomorrow.  I got it from the Ham
Radio Club in Grundy County about 5 years ago so I am sure it was part of
Ham severe wx TTY net back in the '50's started by W9QBH, now SK.

thanks for the info

Frank
