[GreenKeys] Parts and advice needed for teletype corp 15-Y

[steve bennett]

 Greetings,
  This is my first post. I just bought a Teletype Corporation 15-Y at a local antique storeand hope to restore it to functioning condition and connect it to a PC.
It is missing at least four parts that I know of.1) Paper spool spindle.2) Carriage return strap.3) Crank handle.4) Ink ribbon and spools
I have a small home machine shop so I can make parts if I have blueprints.
My first order of business is to get it cleaned up.Is there any good info out there on disassembly and re-assembly?
I'm mechanically inclined but having some knowledge up front is always good.I don't like the dreaded sound of a spring flying across the shop to become hopelessly lost.Any tips on what parts come apart easily and what to NOT take apart would be appreciated.
Here are some photos.Teletype Corporation model 15-Y printer
