[GreenKeys] Model 15 mailbox

And if the CR-strap is gone or ripped, you can make easily a new one out of an old shoestring. Cut the string on both ends, pull the inner string out and flatten the outer layer with a cloth-iron very well, cut to length and crimp on both ends a round wire-connector. I done it before and worked great.

If there is something wrong with the spring inside the drum or the drum itself, you definitely have to take the drum apart - it's a little tricky.

Check to see if the CR strap is still there. Should be on the Type basket and the spring drum.

Hi All,

As I have stated, I am getting my TTY's all set up and lubricated. I have taken the plastic covers off of them, getting loops set up, blasted myself with the loop power supply capacitor when it was turned off, and have soaked ribbons in WD-40 (the ONLY thing I use that crap for).

But over the course of five years of non-use, my model 15 will not perform the carriage return. The thing just sits there. All the letters work, the line feed works, there is no obvious binding, but the CR function doesn't work. When I hit the button, the machine makes the chunkity chunk sound like it should, just no action.

I am not too familiar with the 15 innards, and am afraid to go diving into it. Any ideas?

Are there any TTY gurus around in the Kansas City area?

Now I really miss Jack K0TTY. When he lived here in KC, all I had to do was go see him or he would come see me and we would get the machines in tip top shape. He was a great man in so many ways.

Best,

Joe
