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.

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.

I think it's on the transmit side.
