[GreenKeys] Model 15 uneven baseline fixed

[Tom Hunter]

Mike Arrington got it right! I wish I could give him a prize. All I can
give him is my thanks.

It was the typebar guide. I could not find directions to replace a pullbar
so I had to figure it out myself. The best I could do was remove the
guide/ribbon oscillator so I could hyper-extend the "S" typebar to remove
the  broken pullbar and slip a good one in. It took some trial and error to
get the teeth meshed right so when the "S" typebar was on the rest the
pullbar lined up with the others.

I put at all back together and that is when my uneven baseline started.
The guide adjustment turned out to be super-critical. Once I got the
baseline straightened out today, I had to do some gentle typebar bending so
none of them would stick.

By the way my "Z" is lined up but is still printing light on the bottom.
I am wondering if the type slug is worn. Except for that minor problem, the
15 looks great!

I have a parts carriage. I could take the "Z" from that. Where can I find
instructions for replacing a typebar correctly?

Thank you Mike. There are so, so many things to learn about fixing
Teletypes. I learned a new one today.
