[GreenKeys] Model 33 Progress

[Brad]

Sorry for asking this - I do have the manual in PDF but because it's so
large it causes my reader to delay 5-10 seconds each time I 'turn' a page.
Definitely want to order printed copies I think!

 

Question - is there a capacitor involved in any way with the typing
unit/keyboard?  It feels to me like we have something where not enough power
is being consistently delivered.  If I press a letter key and hold repeat
long enough, eventually the printhead will start moving and typing (wrong)
characters.  And the punch also starts punching out different codes, where
before it was only punching the fourth hole in from the right, if at all.

 

I've done my best to clean the contacts and associated pins/wires, but that
hasn't made a significant difference, although Line Feed is now working if I
hit it enough times.

 

Going to try to (painfully) flip my way through the PDF here and see if I
can understand more about how it works.
