[GreenKeys] Dangling Part

Tue Jul 23 20:01:29 EDT 2019

 You probably need to be looking from the bottom.  There's not much to see
from the front.  See Wayne's picture of the front.

This is from my 2 months of experience on my Model 33's repair:
I recommend that the H plate that connects the typing unit to the keyboard
be disconnected first. Put a screwdriver in the slot and push it towards
the spring.  It should clear the keyboard side.
There's a lever on the typing unit that extends under the keyboard,
activated by the "here is" key.  Be careful not to bump it into something.
Pull the plugs that go to the typing unit into the Electrical Service Unit
(ESU).
In the rear, there's a ground wire that plugs into the base.  You'll need
to unplug it.
There's a 2-wire cable going to the answerback unit.  That along with its
clip will need to be disconnected.
Remove the bolt from the bottom of the the base that holds the typing
unit.  There may be more if the shipping bolts are still there.
Pull the typing unit up.

I've only done this once so I defer to any other guidance you may receive.
Good luck!
