does it now malfunction if you type the characters on the keyboard?
Yes, it was working just fine until I attempted to read a tape I had just
punched with it. After that, C would come out as K, carriage return as D,
linefeed as A, etc.
Try pulling the reader plug from the back of the call
control unit (it's
one of 6,7,8, the other 2 being the keyboard and the distributor disk,
trace the cable to find which is which). IF there;s a short in the
reader, that would elminate it.
The reader unit plugs into a module that was installed inside the stand.
At first the reader wasn't working because I had unplugged this (the TTY
has been separated from the stand). After I plugged this in the reader
started to work but the characters were coming out wrong (this is when it
started). Unplugging that module does not fix the problem.
Do you know if the problem is on the transmit side or
receive side?
I think it's on the transmit side.
