>The GT&E manual generally has better explanations of how the machine works than the original Teletype manuals.

Would you be able expand the GT&E abbreviation or point me to where I could get them? I did a quick search, but can't seem to find anything.

>The CN manual seems to have very good illustrations and a step-by step approach to adjustments -- taking them in the order they should be investigated instead of arranging them the way Teletype Corp does, by geographic location in the machine.  

Interesting analysis. I guess I should give it a more thorough read. It's a bit overwhelming with the machine. The only think I did so far, is to ensure there's no debris, no shorts, replaced the hammer and typed few letters. I didn't want to run it for too long, seeing it's not seized, but could have moved smoother.

>So, thanks for rescuing this material!

Thank you for confirming it was not wasted time yesterday! All the schematics I have are official Teletype Corp ones, I'm sure all of them are archived, but I might scan them regardless just in case the existing quality is worse that what I can do. Is there a good place to cross reference existing documentation besides archive.org? I did download some pdfs few months ago, when I got the machine. But I failed to save the links.
