Is the loop in series between the keyboard and the printer?

> The tape reader still is not running with the switch set on "T"
I may be misunderstanding, but the K/KT/T switch is not involved with the reader (TD). To read the tape, just move the "free/stop/run" lever down to "run".

I removed the typing unit and found one lever loose. Fortunately, the C-clip retaining ring was there on the base so I was able to re-attach it easily.  Here are some pictures of the typing unit (28BE) and the inside of the base.  I gave the typing unit a jiffy-lube job oiling the felts and greasing the gears. There is a working internal loop supply contrary to what I thought at first.  The typing unit still will not activate when the keys are pressed.  The clutches and everything on the base seem to be working fine.  The tape reader still is not running with the switch set on "T".  The typing unit does "chatter" just fine when the connector block is disconnected.  I can see the ribbon advancing, etc.  I wonder if it is set for receive-only.  I have it out in my "barn" now where I can work on it unmolested but there is no Internet connection out there or else I might be able to hook up ITTY to test it.
