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

[E.]

Hi all!

Sorry for that last schematic… I was trying to decipher one of the previous emails with it, so the circle I had on there was incorrect ;o (sorry again).  Since this is still a bit new to me (slowly figuring it out), a few more questions:…

*Does "running open" means being all noisy - clicking away and not doing anything except the motor running (as opposed to an open circuit, like what was being talked about with the line jack)?

*If the above does mean running open, that is my case - it’s not doing anything with the keyboard.  I have current running though the main unit & keyboard (minus the perforator side - for the time being) but nothing going on the typing unit (just clicking away noisily).  I got lost about the jumping… either with jumping the line jack or the terminals on the side (sorry - multiple emails with multiple subjects ;p ).  What jumping do I need to do and where, so that it may not run open (I’m hoping terminals on the side - the line jack checks out fine with the ohm meter)?

*Will the signal lamp glow when on keyboard?  If it does, looks like I have more sniffing out to do...

Today was mainly a day of taking off the typing unit, checking lines/resistors, oiling and trying to figure out the mechanical side of it.  May do a video tomorrow… the printing bail blade doesn’t seem to be working like it should, but one thing at a time ;o .  After over a week of working ’n trying to fix, I’m a bit burnt out tonight, so will take a break for the rest of the evening ;p ~…..

Anyways, thanks as always and please have a good day/night everyone ^^ !!!~

Sincerely,
Eric :)
