[GreenKeys] Teletype 32 - Keyboard doesn't reset (runs)

[Jeff G]

Hey all, I was messing with my Model 32; I believe it has a keyboard issue
but now I'm not so sure. I don't use it very often, but when I do, the keys
tend to "stick" in that it'll just repeat the same key over and over. If I
use a screwdriver to hold down the front side of the H bridge, it stops,
but if I let it go it starts again, so I think something on that reset bar
is goofed up or gummed up. I tried adjusting it a little and that didn't
help. (and I understand that adjusting things is bad so I'm not doing that
if I can help it). The keyboard may be whats actually gummed up and I'm not
looking forward to fixing that.

So next I unhooked the H bridge, but the problem still happens. (Of course
now I bumped something on the call control unit and now its in lala land
(stuck in dial mode), so I turned it off in hopes that'll reset back to
normal. Hope!)

The unit is set up as a full duplex loop to a Hal ST-6. When it calms down
it works fine, but I really need to fix this issue so I can mess with it,
my goal is to have an actual RTTY QSO using it at some point. It was used
for RTTY eons ago by its former owner.

Any pointers would be helpful.
