Hey that’s great! I never tire of seeing a teletype running.

Thanks for the video.

Last night I removed the type basket again to check to see if anything was amiss and to make sure I got everything lined up correctly when I re-installed the typing unit.  This morning I finished re-connecting the typing basket.  I fired up the machine on ITTY.  It still printed garbage. I tried playing with the rangefinder a little more but this didn't help.  I kept looking for anything that seemed out of place (loose or missing springs, etc.) but couldn't see anything.  I do remember taking my finger and holding up the 6th vane/code bar while the machine ran.  It seemed to be at that point that the machine started printing more intelligibly.  Then I fiddled with the rangefinder some more and got pretty consistent results.  I am wondering if I might have gotten oil on the magnets or too much oil/grease in spots and the more the machine ran the more it worked itself out.  For awhile it was doing a few things like printing "I" instead of "P", dropping "H", and a few other things like that but at the moment it seems to be printing 100%.  At times I wonder if my Internet connection might be playing a role.

I took a short video on my phone that I will try to attach if this will go to the list.  As always, I really appreciate the help, and especially patience, from list members.
