[GreenKeys] type cylinder swap

[teletypeparts at comcast.net]

Ed, 

Slash zero's are ME typewheels. They are the most scarce. 

I have seen a dust cover a time or two but they were aftermarket and I dont think designed for 32/33's. A lot of 32 and 33's were Telex and TWX and always unattended. There were soundproof covers for 32/33. Sometimes they had a fan for air movement. 

Make sure you unplug the power to your 33 overnight or long periods of non-use. Bad for the SMD card and a dust cover would make it even worse. Even a slight chance of fire. 

A 39 gallon Lawn and Leaf trash bag slides over a 33 perfectly. Also a clear plastic bag that Fed Ex and UPS uses on rainy days when they leave a package at your door. If you get lucky, you will find one that way.

Hello Wayne. 

Yes, exactly. A 'slash zero' one is what I'm looking for. 

With the dust cover I mean a cover like the ones you see being used 
on typewriters and such. It's usually of thin vinyl. 

Regards, 

Ed
