[GreenKeys] Model 32ASR - won't type in "Local" ... but will locally type when turning rotary dialer

[Andy KN4UCL]

Dear GK folks - my Teletype M32 is outwardly in nice condition and I am
finally getting it prepped... with a view to doing some i-telex.

It runs in open when powered up, and although pressing the Local button
doesn't seem to do anything, if I turn the dialer clockwise the chattering
stops and I can type locally without issue.

Any thoughts on this?  Attached are some photos.

cheers!  Andy
