[GreenKeys] Model 15 Associated Press with Model 19 keyboard...can it work?

[John, W9DDD]

I essentially did this, but that was 64 years ago.  Worst problem I had 
was with the cover.  The normal 15 cover doesn't have some of the 
cutouts needed to clear the PEX (actual name of the 19 keyboard.)  Which 
version do you have, character counter on right or left?  Right side 
would require less modifications to the cabinet. I don't think there is 
any difference in bases between the KSR and RO.  If the 15 was RO it 
maybe doesn't have the cable for getting 120 VDC into the base for the 
tape punch (you need about 80 mA of DC for the punch if I recall correctly.)
