[GreenKeys] model 15 type alignment

[Richard Knoppow]

    I don't know much about Teletype machines but on a typewriter 
it could be the type head is out of alignment. If the heads are 
soldered in placed it may be that its moved or was never 
installed correctly. I would think any other misalignment would 
be evident to visual inspection, for instance the length of the 
type bar from the hinge at the comb to the center of the type face.
