[GreenKeys] Model 32/33 Teletype 180502 Print Hammer Head

[Clay Archer]

I would also be interested in a few of them.   My printout is light, and
even after adjusting the head alignment some characters still appear to be
slightly light on the left, or the right.   This may be due to the plastic
hose that replaced the rubber hammer not striking the head correctly.   My
print head is clean and the typeset is sharp, so it may be the hammer...

This sounds great, I would certainly take a few, even though I only have one
Model 33.

I received 4 quotes on the tooling for the rubber Print Hammer Head.  We
selected a vendor this morning and have ordered the 4-cavity tool.  I
anticipate having the first pre-production articles in 5-7 weeks after which
I will send some to Wayne and Don to test fit, durometer and durability.
Figure another two weeks to finish the tool (if there are a few tweaks) and
then they will shoot 5,000 pcs.  I am betting late May early June on the
production parts (assuming there are no big snags). 

 

I will keep the list posted and let you know when parts are available in
case there is any interest.  I anticipate cost (including tooling
amortization) at between $1-$1.75 ea.

 

 

thanks.
