To the gentleman having troubles with the slow carriage return:
 
Previous advice is right on, you need to clean and lube the machine,  
especially the carriage area.  Sometimes you can shorten the carriage  return 
spring an inch or so to help.  
 
Also, the proper sequence is CR, LF, LTRS (or delete) on every line.   That 
will help a machine with slow return problems.  Cleaning the  dashpot parts 
with solvent is a good idea as well.  I always put a  little oil on them 
after cleaning.  They will get oily as they run, so  might as well oil em and 
adjust the air lever with some oil on the plunger and  cup.  
 
Follow up on the 32 and 33 comment I made, I used to work on 28's and  35's 
and liked them very much, but as time went on seemed to do more and more 32 
 and 33 work until that became my niche.  Its all I have parts for as  
well.  32 and 33's were very under-rated when they first came out.   They will 
last long time with good care.
