[GreenKeys] Need help with Line Feed not working on ASR 33

[Tommie Mademark]

Hello all you ASR 33 experts!

 

I recently acquired a Teletype ASR 33 to use as a terminal for my collection
of old Data General minicomputers (http://www.foxdata.com/blog/). After
cleaning the ASR 33 and lubricating, typing works and the paper tape punch
works but paper feed using the Line Feed key does not. Pressing the Line
Feed key punches the correct code in the paper tape so I assume the correct
code is set in the selector but the line feed drive link does not move and I
am unable to figure out if the Line Feed Blocking Lever blocks the movement
of the line feed drive link.

 

I am trying the follow the instructions on page 87 in the Bulletin 310B, vol
2 manual to check the line feed function but how do I manually set the code
in the selector with the typing unit off and placed in the stop condition?

 

I would appreciate any help with this issue.

 

Thanks,
