[GreenKeys] [Asr-33] Printer problem

Julien, 

Its likely that the missing bearing could cause the problem.

Subject: [GreenKeys] [Asr-33] Printer problem 

Hi, 

I got an asr-33 teletype one month ago, with the wish to read and transmit to a modern computer a mits basic altair paper tape from 1976 I bought on ebay. 

Besides this, I have a problem with the printer : the printer head (typewheel) doesn't move (the carriage is moving however) and the hammer initiates a move but stop without hiting the head, when I depress a key on the keyboard. 
I have found that a bearing ball was missing along the carriage drive bail (see pic). Could it explain my problem or do I have to check elsewhere ? 

Thank you in advance for your advices. 
Bests regards, 

Julien
