I am learning what to ask for. I am starting to believe I need an RO base with the plastic front piece that is much smaller than a KSR. I get the impression if I can find an RO base all I would need to do is remove the KSR base with all of the keyboard and transmitting parts, install the RO base, and move the typer, motor and speed gears to the RO base. This conversion would be considered a downgrade, but space is critical and I need RO only in this case.

While I guess it could be converted, wouldn't you really want an RO base? OR in the case of one of the 28s I got, it has a cover that fits over the keyboard.

I just looked at a RO and KSR chassis (sorry, no extra RO).I think you would just need to remove the keys/keylevers except for local CR and local LF.Maybe need to remove the keyboard code bars, transmitter, etc, but probably not.A new RO front cover seems like it would align the CR and LF keys properly.Paul Cembura probably has RO front cover (153117) and chassis (152000) - better check those part numbers!
YMMV. No Warranty.
