[GreenKeys] 28KSR question...

[E.]

Do you think Mr. RTTY out in California might have a connector for purchase ;o ?… or does anyone out there have a spare one that they might be able to spare, by chance :) ?  If not, I may have to move things as advised :) .....

If you don't have a cable to connect to the right connector of the typing unit then you can safely bet that typing unit didn't go with that cabinet originally.

On typing units with only one connector the bell contacts were wired with a red and a black wire and the bell contacts were over slot 28.  With one like yours the bell was wired with yellow and brown and went to pins 1 and 3 on the right connector.  (Y on 1 and BR on 3)

>> Thanks all for all the replies ^^ !  I believe the bell contact board is this little guy in the photo attached, right?  It appears that the wires from it go to the empty connector on the right - in the second photo (attached)… so it really goes no where.  If I’m looking at it correctly - why is this???  Is there a way to rectify the situation ;p ?  Will look at the wiring diagram after supper…..
