[GreenKeys] Teletype model 45 rectifier

[Paul Heller]

I’ve seen those connectors on a model 19
table. Not saying that is what they are for, just my experience. 

I am away right now for another 19 days but will definitely check this, Joe, when I return and will also check the “model 45”

If you don't have the specific Teletype Corp. table that went with that supply, the special plugs are meaningless.  The cord with the male contacts will be the 120VAC input, the cord with the female contacts will be the 120VDC loop supply. (Ohm them out to be sure!) Cut off the special connectors and wire it into your system.

It has two cords coming out of it, one with a two prong plug but the planes of the prongs are 90 degrees from eachother, i.e., one is vertical and one is horizontal. The other cord has a socket on it, a strange three prong socket with the blade holes all with the plane of the blades facing into the center.
