The one in my GRC-122E shelter even has a decal affixed to the top of the case advising that the 50 baud gear set is installed (I subsequently installed 45 baud gears).  The TT-4s I've had came with the 75 baud gears installed.

Brought it home, oiled it up and it ran error free as a stand alone unit.  I wanted it as a spare for my RATT shelters so it was stored.  Last week I got it off the shelf, oiled it up and it still ran great so I put it in the local loop in the shack.  The other machines could not copy it nor could the TT-76 copy the other machines.  Checked the motor speed and it was good at 3,600 RPM.  Opened up the gear box and found 50 baud, 414 OPM.  That’s 69 WPM, clearly not a standard.  The spare gears are standard at 600 OPM, 100 WPM.  Anyone ever see this speed?  Don’t know if the railroad used these machines or not.  I lowered the motor speed 9% with the governor and it works well in the loop but would like to find gears.  I never see Kleinschmidt parts for sale.
