@All
Whoa, thanks guys! 
I have a number of M15 manuals, hard to say exactly what's what.. but like I said, so far I haven't found an installation doc (which is what I assume would have the most concise version of what I need. 
Here's a quick list of my M15 directory:
legendre at legendre-945P-A:~/Desktop/Teletype Model 15$ ls1110B_Model15_Parts_Dec43_ArmyVer.pdf1164B-Chg3.pdf138b.pdf138_Model15_Adj_Oct41.pdf14_15_28 GEARS.pdf144_Model15_Descr_Feb31.pdf15_01.JPG15_02.JPG15_wd_drh.pdf29ma.pdf5381s.pdf570-001-901MS.pdfab84.139.pdfatt-twx-operate-no-15-teletypewriter-1943-1954_text.pdfmodel15codechart.pngmodel15schematicmed.pngP90.019.pdfp96.022.pdfsel_mag-15-19-20-28.pdftm11-655-tty.pdfttyconverter2.0typebarlayout.pnglegendre at legendre-945P-A:~/Desktop/Teletype Model 15$ 
That's what I've got. 
One (hopefully) easy question is this - How do I put it in "local" mode? I assume that for the M15, I'll need to use the 120V / 60mA supply in my converter? But were do I make the various connections?
Ok - back to it. I'll check back here in a few mins. ;-)

The unit showed up today, and it seems to be in truly excellent shape. No obvious damage or signs of extensive wear or abuse. It has lost a fair bit of black wrinkle paint off the typing unit frame, but I can't complain about that.
But despite all of the other preparations I made for it, building hardware, writing software, etc.. I can't figure out how to hook the dang thing up!
I have quite a few pieces of documentation for it, perhaps too many - but so far, I can't find a simple 
"Here is how to connect the M15 TTY" section. 

Underneath the cover, the machine has two double-row screw terminal blocks. A long one on the RH side about mid-way along, and a shorter one on the LH side, near the rear. 
There is an AC power cord connected to two of the RH terminals. There is also a male TRS plug connected to two terminals on the same block. Only the T and R connections are used, the sleeve is unwired.
So.. where are the Tx- / Tx+ and Rx- / Rx+ connections, where I can hook-up my RS-232 / 60mA converter? Any other assist would be welcome, as there's also this question about a line relay (that allows a remote machine to enable the printer, I think). 
As ever, TIA..
-Bill
