My adventure in fine metalwork has come to an end (I hope).  I've
manufactured a mounting bracket for the paper tape reader power
supply for the Model 33 I am restoring.  I found the supply itself
on eBay, broken, and I've now made a bracket.  Photos of the result
are here:

Along the way, I had to learn how to extrusion punch sheet metal.
I've never done that before, but here are some detail photos of the
experiments I did before making the bracket:

I think the result is pretty good.  I actually made 5 brackets;
I'll send the others to Wayne Durkee as payment for all the teletype
bits and pieces he's sent my way without charge.  Of course, there
are more bits and pieces I need (mostly little things).
