[GreenKeys] high speed LRPE2 reperf ??

[John W9DDD]

Perhaps it has 2 cycle cams? So it processes two characters per omemraotation of the shaft,  check the parts section.

See page 4 of https://www.navy-radio.com/manuals/tty/jh/ttyman7/TeletypeManuals/model28/573-119-800TC-Iss1.pdf

All the punch pins are punching and the punch patterns are repeatable, so I don't think anything is sticking.  Adjusting the Range control makes some difference in the punches, but still garble.
