[GreenKeys] What moves the ribbon on a Teletype 43?

[Lee Mushel]

Charles, I think you are someone with coattails I would like to hang on to.  You have a model 43.   So do I, one I got on ebay and when it arrived, the print head was "floating" around loose, doing all the damage it could.   After a couple of months, I found a source for the ribbons which arrived yesterday.   I plugged this thing in and got a row of red lights but no indication of any desire to do anything else.  If you are past the point of worrying about getting the ribbon to advance you are ahead of me.

I have no info on it.   Perhaps you can point me in some direction so I can download a manual or at least a schematic.

40 years ago I had no trouble getting models 14, 19 and 26 working (and they sit about 20 ft. behind me at the moment.   But this creature is something else.   I would at least like to get it in a "local loop."
