[GreenKeys] Model 33 Progress

[Jack]

I'd suggest replacing the power transistor on the Selector Driver
assembly,
and possibly the SMD PC card (182630?). Sounds like something is
heating up.

So after trying to get the 33 to print improperly via hairdryer..
I gave up.
Usually when I'm done with the machine I unplug it, but this time
I forgot and it sat switched off but plugged in for about 4 hours.
When I turned it on.. voila.. totally random characters.  In fact,
in some cases it wasn't even tripping the clutch where the range
finder is so nothing was actually being printed.

Now waiting for it to cool before I try again..

By the way -- the ribbons for these things... are they anything
special or are they just standard typewriter ribbon?  Need a new
one badly.
