Jason,

" If I have the printer only connected to the loop, I can push in on the selector solenoid and it will stay in until power is removed. "

The selector should close on it's own when energized. If it only closes with help from your finger then
either it is gummed up or not getting enough current.
Are you measuring 60mA?

Also, should my keyboard and printer plugs be wired in parallel, or series to each other with my ST-6000 loop supply? I’ve tried both, and can’t seem to stimulate the selector with the keyboard. If I have the printer only connected to the loop, I can push in on the selector solenoid and it will stay in until power is removed. That’s the only sign of life. Can’t do this with the keyboard plugged in either series or parallel, doesn’t hold. 

I don’t recall that the operation of the is thing was so puzzling!

Thanks,

Good evening and happy new year! I just took my model 15 out of storage for the first time since I moved. (Been a few years.)

I have an odd situation where the printer just isn’t in “print mode.” The keyboard side seems to be working fine. 

The best way I can say it, would be analogous  to someone holding the clutch in somewhere on a manual transmission vehicle. The motor is engaging the main shaft nicely, but not all of the main shaft is turning with it. Was there some sort of lever I was wise enough to move to put things in some safe travel mode?

Or, possibly is something just too gunked up somewhere?

It ran when it was parked, I do remember that. :D

Thanks,
