[GreenKeys] Model 19 progress and a few questions...

[Pete Lancashire]

2:  Where are contacts 9 through 12?  Looked and looked - no see ;p .


They are the contact block that goes to the printer. The printer "sits" on
the contacts.

BTW depending on the age  of your printer the selector magnets may be
different
