[GreenKeys] M28 cabinets - skin tight vs skin tight

Wed Mar 25 22:17:28 EDT 2020

Not all of them did.  I had 2 of them years ago that didn't.  Those that do have a different (longer) sub-base.

The paper on it says “100WPM TELETYPE NEW”.  I don’t know what feed it was receiving that printed that, and am unsure what gears it really has in it. I was told it is ready for ITTY, but have not had a chance to try it and the paper makes me thing the speed is wrong.  Unlike a normal 28 it does not have a LESU. I am assuming the selector magnets hook directly to the loop, but I have not gone through the machine yet.
