Hi guys,
Should there be a relay in my keyboard assembly? There is a spot that is
about 1"x1/2". It has a section of 12 pin holes and a section of 4 holes.
If it needs one could you please tell me where I could get one?
Thanks,
Matt


I dont know exactly about the MM5 specifically - but many of the ROWE
AMI machines of this era had a space for an extra relay on the button
bank assembly and this was used for some optional bonus
pricing/premium pricing feature. (I think)

For normal use this relay is NOT needed and is optional. If your
machine is working fine then ignore this relay socket.

If the setup is anything like the MM4 - there should be 2 open frame
relays in the button bank. One will activate the LATCH solenoid that
releases the buttons and the other will make the search unit motor
spin if closed manually.
