[GreenKeys] Teletype M32 clicking... not printing

[Andy KN4UCL]

hmm so i just popped in my (only) 2a 125v fuse and it blew. As the
motor/fan seems to turn in a normal manner with my finger, would my next
port of call be the starting cap, yeah?

Grabbed some more fuses on the 'bays https://www.ebay.com/itm/124512925515

cheers!
