Eric,
I've restored a couple Silent 700 and found that the grease in the head lift
solenoid had become very sticky (ie, no longer grease) and after completely
cleaning and applying new (white lithium grease) the solenoid works much
better. I also had one of the knobs you mention split but was
On further study, I find that I misunderstood the nature of the print
mechanism in the TI Silent 700 model 763. What I thought was the line
advance solenoid is actually a head lift solenoid. It fooled me
because it is actuated every time the line is advanced, but the actual
line advance is perform

Hey guys,
Getting closer to the 'construction' phase of my TVT replica. I already
built a mockup the case and reconfigured and painted the MDS keyboard I
found to match the prototypes. I also got some 'natural' colored PCB stock
and etched some boards. Pretty happy with the results. Hard to
