Congrats on the new acquisition.

There's a special tool made specifically to de-crud the punch.  The part
number is 99947.  Here's pic of mine.  Not too good, I'm afraid.

It's brass with a small 'handle' soldered to one end.  The slot clears the
sprocket feed.

I'd send this one, but it's the onliest one I have.

Good luck

Gil, W1RG

Hello all!

I am the now proud owner of a 28 ASR in resplendent condition! (thank you 
wa2hwj).  While playing around with my new toy, I tried to "backspace" the 
paper tape with a red tape b.s. button. It seems I have completely mangled 
the tape in the final gate where the holes actually punch.  (Now I think 
B.S. means something other than backspace hi!)

Can someone give me the trick how to open that punching gate so I can clear 
out the mangled paper and feed through some fresh paper? For the life of me 
I couldnt figure it out

Thanks
Eugene
