[GreenKeys] ASR 33 problems

Hello,
I recently subscribed to Greenkeys. I'm having a lot of fun reading
through all the old posts.
I've been trying to get a ASR33 working and have been having some trouble.
Can someone give me advice?
When I press a character key, it prints out without any problems. When I
press a function key, such as Bell or Carriage Return, it also works fine.
However, when I press a number or punctuation key, or the space bar, it
doesn't work. The distributor turns but the mechanism stays
completely silent.
I tried tapping the selector magnet randomly and got it to print numbers
when I move the motor wheel by hand, so I expect the problem is before
that point. I also checked the voltages on the distributor plates and
they look correct, so I expect the problem is after that point.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Michael
