In "T" mode, the keyboard signal generator clutch is not supposed to engage, meaning that the keyboard mechanically activates the perf but does NOT transmit a signal on the line. This allows you to cut a reply tape without interference while the page printer is printing an incoming message.

My problem is that the perf is getting activated/reset fine in T mode, but unfortunately the keyboard signal generator clutch is also getting tripped, causing the keyboard signal generator to interrupt the signal line. This means I can cut a tape OK, but that printing of an incoming message gets garbled.

I can't figure out how to adjust  the keyboard control selection lever so it does not trip that clutch. The control cam is causing the perf to activate/punch/reset correctly in T mode, and I can see that the keyboard control selection lever is rotated, but that dang clutch trip lever is still tripping.

 Note - I can't actually see the end of the clutch trip lever as it is buried in there somewhere.

Any suggestions? I swear this thing used to work properly but something has happened and I can't figure out what.....
