[GreenKeys] Model 15 in very bad shape

[simon]

Hi All,

I acquired a model 15 lately. It is in horrible condition but it was 
very cheap. Mice lived and died in it, moisture did its job and rust is 
everywhere.

BUT...

all keys but one are there, the case is in great shape and light green 
metallic, the glas plate is there and whole and it has its crank. after 
some poking and applying IMAL and oil, the mechanics are responsive, so 
it should be possible to make it working again, albeit very ugly to look 
at.

It has a governed motor and a cast iron base labeled BB-49.

My idea is to fix the machine, but not clean it. that way i can use it 
as a prop in a creapy setting, covered with cobwebs, but springing to 
life all of a sudden and printing on yellowed paper a message from the 
past...

anyway, in looking at a schematic (2217wd.pdf) there seems to be some 
kind of switch with resistors connected to terminals 23 and 33 to set 
the speed of the motor. where should that be situated in the machine?

other thoughts are to scrap the machine for parts and keep the keycaps 
for my model 14 and give the remainder to someone in the benelux or 
germany as i am situated in Arnhem, The Netherlands.

any thoughts?
