I've been working on repairing and restoring a 1964-vintabe ASR-33 for a while now. It's in pretty good condition at this point, it types the alphabet and numbers correctly, but lots of little adjustments are off.

I've been doing my best to log everything I did on line.  The top-level description of the machine is here, click on any photo to see it full sized:

On that page, you'll find links to the on-line copies of the maintenance manual, Bulletin 310B (in two parts) and the parts list Bulletin 1184B.

That page also refers to the bug list:

On that page, you'll find a list of all the problems we've found with the Teletype, with links to our more detailed log entries where we talk about the problems in more detail, with photos and references to the documentation.
