Joe,

Most of the gears in Teletype equipment have part numbers stamped on  
them.
I will send you a chart (if I can find it) that shows the correct  
gears for 60 wpm.
In addition to the correct gears, with all three machines in the same  
loop you
need to make sure the loop current is close to the required 62.5  
milliamps
and the voltage from 90 to 130 vdc.

Hi all,

I finally got my Model 28 TD lubricated properly this weekend, and  
have taken it for a test drive. It works (mechanically) perfectly,  
with no obnoxious noise or glitches. Tape feeds perfectally, and the  
tape control lever works fine.

Here is the issue.

I looped it together with my ASR 28 and my M-15. I ran a tape through  
it and all that was transmitted was gibberish. The gibberish was the  
same on both printers. The tape I used I personall punched on my ASR  
28. It was a series of FOXES and RYs. It worked and printed  
perfectally on both the 15 and the 28, and when I transmitted it from  
the 28 to the 15, it printed perfectly. But when I transmit it from  
the TD, it is gibberish.

Could it be that the M-28 TD has a different speed gear in it? How  
would I tell?

Any advice or wisdom on this would be most welcome.

Thank you in advance!

Joe Herdler
