[GreenKeys] getting an asr33 teletype

[Wayne Durkee]

Paul,

Thanks and right on with the tips.

Make sure that all 4 screws that hold the 33 to the pedestal are there before you remove any. Once I started to remove them and the left rear one was missing! Close call.

Standing at the back of the 33, its the left screw closest to you that you just loosen a half turn. Then remove the other three and pull up slightly on the 33 pan and pivot to the right clockwise 45 degrees.

73,

Wayne

I once saw someone who did not do this and as he was removing the fourth bolt the whole thing fell forward off the pedestal and crashed on the ground!

The second pic shows where to remove the 4 screws that hold the whole 33 to the pedestal. The third pic shows the front printer shipping screw installed. After removing the 33 from pedestal you can place all 3 shipping screws in place. Start with the front one as you can see that one go in.
