[GreenKeys] ASR 33 - another question about the reader

[Don Robert House]

Yes Alf,
Under the reader is a central lock nut.  Surrounding the lock nut are  
four adjusting screws to position the reader to operate properly.
In addition sometimes the contacts come out of the comb that holds  
them in place. You can usually see and reposition them if necessary.

Don et al,
 From reading the question posed by Bill, it prompts me to ask about a  
problem I have with the reader on the museum ASR33.

It will run if I hold down the cover but for some reason it stops when  
I let it go.

I think it could be the Tape Out sensor but I also noticed the tape  
drive sprocket seems a bit low down and doesnt engage properly with  
the holes in the tape.
Is the protrusion of the whole assembly adjustable?

Any ideas?
