[GreenKeys] M15RO on with unusual cover...

[Kenneth Gartland]

Hi all...

Very interesting cover, I have never seen one like it...I have worked on
M15/20's in many newsrooms, but this is unique. It
does look like Teletype in origin, as for the perfect fit, similar
mounting studs etc., as the main cover has for the front apron.

The printer itself is rather bare-bones, cast iron unit, probably
an x-military unit, as anti-fungal markings red/orange are
still visible on typing unit, base and motor. Many news agencies such as UP
& AP bought tons of these after the War. Unit also shows to have been
modified for 75WPM based on #5 bellcrank.

The base is equiped with an early day .020/.060ma magnet (SMD) driver...I
intalled lots of these back in the day, to change out the 255 relay.

Sorry for rambling on...I hope there will be some chatter
on the forum, re: this machine...Thanks all for listening.

Cheers!
