[GreenKeys] 15RO to 15KSR

[Sheldon Daitch]

 Let me clarify, the news agencies may have removed everything from the M15 units whichwould not be needed for their services.

  In regards to the M15RO units lacking the keyboard contacts, it is very possible that an RO mayhave come from one of the news agencies and I suspect that the machines, if bought from Teletypedirectly, were ordered as RO units and the associated contacts and wiring simply not installed.
Another possibility is that the news agencies may have purchased surplus M15 units and simplyremoved everything from the units, simply to reduce failure points over the years of service as ROmachines.

 Stan Voynick asked me about converting a 15 RO to a 15 KSR. I am posting my comments to the group.
I looked into that with my 15RO and it was not possible. The keyboard has sliding contacts that connect to the base. (Picture 1) There are mating contacts in the KSR base. (Picture 2) My RO does not have those contacts. Therefore a keyboard will not connect. I do not know if the RO base even has the mating keyboard gears. At my age it is to difficult to take the cover off to look. Maybe someone else can enlighten us.
