Tony,
Thanks for the response...
If pressing a key doesn't cause the distributor to spin, then there's a
mechanical problem. You want to investigate the linkage that starts at
the ekyboard (the metal strip that the H-plate slots into should
turn counterclockwise seen from the left side when you press a key, and
is returned to the clcokwise position by the H-plate). Then trace the
linkage via the H-plate to the clutch at the back. This should engage
when the key is pressed.

right thing. Do they do _anything_?

The keys do Nothing (although I can see the armatures freely moving up and
down. The rotor does NOT move at all. The break key DOES cause it to "space out", as expected. Putting the device in line,
does NOT cause it to space
out. In my mind this indicates that the selector magnet is functional...IS
YEs, it sounds like the selector is OK.
THIS CORRECT?
