Do you mean the 15 pin ones at the back of the call control unit? The
cable-mounted plugs should all be numbered, the sockets are in 2 rows of
4, 1 to 4 (left to right looking from the back of the machine) in the top
row, 5-8 in the bottom row. Many won't actually be used.
IIRC, 3 is the motor, receive magnet, etc connetor, 8 goes to the
distributor disk, 6 and 7 are keyboard and reader (I forget which way
round). And on a lot of of machine they're keyed so you can't get them in
the wrong places.
There will also me a socket on a fairly long cable. This connects to the
Reader PSU, often moutned at the top of the stand, not in the main part
of the teletype.

If it turns freely by hand, give it 115V, turn the frontpanel switch to
'Local' (assuming the normal private-line call control unit) and see what
happenes
