I can’t think of any effect of the typing unit on the keyboard other than something that would keep it from working at all (like a busted/wrong drive gear).

Please give us more info. 
If you type the same character over and over do you always get the same result?
RRRRRR   YYYYYYY  EEEEEE TTTTTTT
What do you you get when typing BLANK over and over?

Isolate the problem between the code bars, transfer levers, and transmitter contacts.
You may want to manually rotate the motor to see things in slow motion. Pull the top of the fan (on the right end of the motor) toward you.

Watch the code bars at the right side-
Type E LF SP CR T yo make one code bar at a time move.
Type E A U K LTR V M O T to make 1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1 code bars move together

If the code bars are behaving OK -
Type the same thing while looking at the transfer levers (to the right of the transmitter contact box)
If they aren't behaving you probably have something gummed up from old grease or a missing spring.

If the transfer levers are behaving OK you probably have dirty contacts, loose connection, or a bad noise suppression network (inside the transmitter box)
Watch a loop current meter as you turn the motor by hand.

Hello all, I have this 28ksr for many years, recently retired and now have the time to get it going. Cleaned,
lubed, and got the receive to print perfect with MPC1000r Dovetron set to 60 mils. Transmit another story,
keyboard works but no inputs will match the outputs, mostly spaces and wrong letters. I cleaned contacts
in the signal generator and made no adjustments to anything on the keyboard. I installed a 3 speed
transmission which works perfectly but still need to make up linkage. The printer case is a TT69-70 type
mounted on the usually base, LSU is SB-964/ug, Typing unit is LP-77yd/agm, Keyboard is Mx114a/ug
with a Mx-1114c/ug signal generator.
The typing unit has a replacement tag under the model, RO10, probably not original plate. I don't know
that there would be a difference with RO, receive only that would prevent the keyboard from working?
The case has 3 connection strips in the upper rear, I am using 5 and 6 for receive, havens gotten to tx
yet. Any help would be really appreciated. 
Thanks Bob Kc2ltx
