[GreenKeys] Anyone on here know about the AT&T 5310 printer line?

[Don Robert House]

The 5310 was one of many dot matrix printers made by AT&T in Singapore.
The operation there was one of 51 different AT&T associated companies.

I have a NEW Navy TEMPEST version known as the 5310T.  It has a RS-449  
interface.
The 5310 was used many Bell central offices with a keyboard to monitor  
and track the CO Battery Plant.
I have the manual and quick set-up guide for the 5310T which is not a  
whole lot different than the
civilian 5310.

The 5310 uses a four-conductor modular jack similar to an RJ-14 to  
interface with the keyboard.
I have been searching for a keyboard for my 5310 for almost two years  
now.  Most of these
AT&T printers and keyboards have been scrapped by now.

The keyboard makes the 5310 into a complete KSR terminal.
The part number is 56K341AAN also seen as 56K-341-AAN
The HECI code is XCTM400JAA

The keyboard works with several terminals / printers such as the 5410,  
4410, 5425, 4425, 5620

Any leads would be appreciated.  I was outbid on the only such  
keyboard on ebay.

I was just given one, told it was the last printer Teletype made.
There seem to be versions with keyboards, and versions that connect
to PCs as ordinary computer printers.  I was given some AT&T keyboards,
heavy things like the old IBM keyboards.  I was told that the Teletype
5310 uses the same keyboard logic as the PC, so PC keyboards should
work.  However the 5310 has a modular connector for the keyboard.
The keyboards I was given have (1) no cord, (2) a cord with a PS/2
type connector, and (3) a cord with a DB9M type connector.  So if I
knew the pinouts I could probably connect one of those keyboards to
the 5310.

I have an AT&T PC which I thought might have been made by Teletype,
but the man who gave me the printer said that Teletype didn't make any
PCs; that they were made through an arrangement with Olivetti.
