Hi All:

The long awaited ASR-33 arrived today. It was brought here 
from PA., by the widow of the late owner. He had gotten it 
from the Ohio State University radio station back in the 
60's.

It was in far better shape than one would hope for, and 
only took me 20 minutes to get going, lubrication, change 
the print hammer rubber, ribbon, etc. and freeing up the 
platen which had become sticky over the years... It has 
been in excellent storage over the years, and was unusually 
clean... Sharp contrast to my poor KSR-33 which was kept in 
a barn for 20 years! (it by the way, is also now working 
great, after a LOT of work.)

It came with absolutely everything, including the back 
cover, copy holder, etc... Even a box of paper rolls (an 
added surprise when she arrived!)
