[GreenKeys] Model 14 restoration

[Nick]

Forget to ask something else - guess I'm getting old too, or should I say older 🥴.

But first a huge THANK YOU for all the responses I received !!!

And here is my question:
The "end of line indicator" is a small light located on the right side of the keyboard, activated by what?
There must be a mechanical counter of some sort which activates a momentary switch for the light, right?
I have three of the model 14's (one I'm working on and two for parts) but can't find a counting assembly on any.

Any help and pictures of course are highly appreciated.
The low paper tape bell notification is important, but not as much as the end of line indicator.

Looking at the manual and a wiring diagram, I will hazard a few answers -
1) The capacitor with both leads to ground is used when a governed motor is installed. Not needed for the synchronous motor.
2) As someone remembered the bell on the keyboard base indicates Tape Out
You may find a helpful schematic here -

Gentlemen,

I'm in the process to restore a model 14 printing perforator (KSR) and have a couple  of questions.

There is a working bell located on the left side of the printer and another one located on the right side in the far back on the keyboard. That particular one doesn't have a hammer, guess the entire bell assembly is missing. On the backside of that bell is a small, flat and square (¾x¾") THING - looks like a capacitor and both wires are connected/grounded to the base of the keyboard via one tiny screw.

1. why is there a second bell ?
2. how was this bell activated ?
3. is that little square box really a capacitor and why is it there ?

Four pictures are attached.

Please forgive my amateur questions, I don't have a manual and couldn't find one online.
