[GreenKeys] Which is correct

Well, it’s hard to tell without the loop current on it, but both should be able to move freely (I think the one on the right - when looking at the machine, if I remember right, will only open and close when the TT is doing what it should… someone please correct me if I’m wrong,  I can always go down stairs and look).  The one on the left is the clutch, I believe and yeah, without the loop, it should be chattering… so check if it does indeed move freely or not with a screwdriver when the machine is off.  if it's stuck, then lubricate it liberally and try to slide that part with the teeth back and forth to get it all nice and lubricated.  When I got my first 19, that part was stuck open, so even with a loop supply on it, it chattered away… took a hammer, a screwdriver and a bunch of synthetic oil to unfreeze it.

Now question… you said that the one on the right is on the main shaft - the way it looks, correct?  I remember another on the keyboard… that one always stays open unless typing, I believe.
