[GreenKeys] Model 31 video

[John]

    Greetings Greenkeyers!

Here are a couple of videos I took the evening I got the Mod 31 
working.  I had oiled everywhere I could get to (I do have all the 
manuals thanks to Nick E.!) and turned it through by hand  - nothing 
seemed to be binding, I connected it up in the shack loop to ITTY, 
powered it on, and voila! it prints! Even the ribbon is still supple and 
ink-y.

A question was asked concerning the motor:  this one has a GE 
series-governed motor, 115V at 7200 rpm (I doubt it is set to go that 
fast). There is an "AC  DC" switch on a component bracket above the 
motor.  And yes she's quite electrically noisy - in the video of the 
print segment, as I got my phone close to the machine you can hear the 
popping of the governor sparking.  If there's a 35L6 in there I can't 
find it...

This one is in a Western Union badged clamshell portable case with a big 
leather handle - all of it is in pretty good shape - even the detachable 
copy-holder is with it.


     This is the front of the machine in operation:

    This is a side view of the drive, cams, and end-of-line mechanism.
