Oh, I had fun tinkering with my 19 and figuring out what went where ;p . Do you have the line loop set up by chance, so that the keyboard will work ;o ???

It looks similar to this item on eBay except it has no reperforator or call unit and is in *much* better condition: https://tinyurl.com/y82xlg9r (Item No. 323223096071).

I've tried copying ITTY with it but it just types gibberish mostly so I'm guessing this was either a Telex machine (like the one on eBay) or it was set up for some other speed than 60wpm. It also seems to have been set for receive only because I can't get keyboard functions to work.
