[GreenKeys] M33 Shipping Screw(s)

[Don Robert House]

There is really only one screw that keeps the typing unit from falling  
through the plastic cover if it tips over.
You can use a machine screw with a washer or a self tapping screw.
The other screws for the call control unit do not have to be removed.
The typing unit when in operation needs to have the shipping screw  
removed or all of the noise the machine makes is amplified by the base  
pan.
Wayne probably knows the exact size of that screw but I have  
forgotten.  The last time I removed one was in 1969

I am planning to show off my M33 at DEC Legacy in October, which means  
transporting it in my car for about 100 miles or so. Since it will be  
me moving it and doing the driving I was wondering if it is necessary  
to install shipping screws? If so, what is their spec as I don’t have  
them?

Do they just hold the typing unit in place? If so I have always been  
curious as to why the typing unit is “loose” in the subbase anyway,  
why should the shipping screws even be removed?

Thanks

Rob
