[GreenKeys] Parts for Model 33

[Robert Jarratt]

The keyboard cover on my 33 is loose because some of the plastic lugs that
hold it have broken off. It may be possible to glue them back, but otherwise
it would be nice to get one that is not broken. There are other parts I know
I will need, such as the part of the cover that goes over the paper tape
punch, with the buttons on it, a few more of the screws to fix the cover on,
the spindle for paper tape, possibly the lid and window over the platen area
(I have a lid but I think the parts that held it to the main cover are
missing) . I think there is someone who has parts on this list is that
right?

 

I don't have a spindle for the paper either, but it is a sprocket feed model
so I am not sure if it would have had one as sprocket feed paper is usually
fan-fold. Was there ever sprocket feed paper on a roll?

 

I am also wondering about the procedure to remove the keyboard cover, does
the keyboard unit have to be out of the machine to be able to remove the
cover? I am a bit wary as I am sure I have heard stories of parts flying all
over the place when you remove the cover. But I also want to remove it to
lubricate the keyboard.  Is any of this advisable for someone fairly new to
Teletype restoration?

 

Regards

 

Rob
