[GreenKeys] Newbie setting up an m26

[John Spigel]

Jomar, your Model 26 may have the keyboard and selector magnets already 
wired and ready to go. Make doubly sure everything is freed up and lubed 
before hitting with 120VAC. Unpowered try connecting a little 9V battery 
across the two loop leads and listen and see if the magnets activate.  
Try typing and see that the magnets respond. If you are confident all is 
freed up, power the machine, keeping the 9V connected and see if the 
machine stops free running. If so, try typing and see what happens. This 
is of course just a basic test. Perhaps with a little joy.

Note that the magnets will need to be in parallel for 60 Ma and that the 
Break switch will need to be closed to complete the circuit to the magnets.

Best regards, John W1AN
