[GreenKeys] Model 33 ASR Restoration Update

[Pete Lancashire]

David,

I strongly recommend before typing anything else replace the rubber hammer
'button' with a piece of PVC tubing and eventually replace with a new
button.

It takes only a few 'hits' to ruin your typewheel.

BTW Congratulations !
