[GreenKeys] Teletype ASR 33 print hammer

[Martin]

Ken

I can give accurate details but I suspect the issue of making them has 
been considered before. Its a rubber disk about half inch diameter and 
an 1/8 inch thick But it has an inset hole in one face to grip over what 
can best be described as the head of a large rivet. My best guess so far 
has been to fashion one out of a rubber foot designed for electrical 
equipment boxes, but glue may be involved, which I dont like. The item 
has a ISO military stock number and is listed as available. Teletype 
part 180502, but I wonder if I could pay a lot of cash to import one and 
find its the same condition, being old stock.
