[GreenKeys] Model 14 restoration

[Ralph Irish]

From my fading memory of the 14KTRs we had on the USS Hancock,
I think that the second bell would ding fairly regularly, when you got low on tape
as a warning that something had to be done.  Whatever rang it might have been
removed by an earlier user as a nuisance.  

The other bell would activate on upper case "S" or upper case "J" depending on
who bought it and used it.

That is, as I said, a faint memory from the 1959/1961 time on the Hancock.

All of our equipment had BELL on upper case "S".

If the unit can make tape from an incoming signal, it is  NOT  a 'printing perforator',
but a 'printing reperforator'.  I suppose they might have made models without the
selector magnets, strictly for making tape manually, independent of other methods.

Actually, the term,  "Typing Reperforator"  would be more likely.  or, 14KTR.
Just guesswork.

That particular one doesn't have a hammer, guess the entire bell assembly is missing. On the backside of that bell is a small, flat and square (¾x¾") THING - looks like a capacitor and both wires are connected/grounded to the base of the keyboard via one tiny screw.
