[GreenKeys] Another 33 on ebay

[Ralph Mowery]

If  you zoom in to the tape reader you will see two pegs sticking up after the tape reader holes.   They are in the middle holes for narrow tape  and if you look you will see where they can be spaced out wider for the wider tape ..

 

You can tell the 32 Baudot  from the 33 ASCII by the number of rows of keys.  Notice the 32 Baudot will have the top rows with numbers and letters on the same key top.  The ASCII has another top row with  numbers and symbols similar to a computer keyboard.

I just looked at a parts breakdown for the 32 and it looks like there are 8 pins.  Why would that be?

 

And this all begs the question, is there any way to outwardly tell a 32 from a 33?

But it definitely looks like 8 pins on the reader!

I zoomed in on the picture of the tape unit and I saw 8 bars so I'm thinking it's a 33.

That’s a 32 isn’t it?  IMHO it seems to be priced to high.  Only a few miles from me if someone wants it.  If it is the same warehouse that Nick, N0NCQ, and I visited to look at a Model 19 I would say this is way overpriced.  Thins there looked like a pile of rejects.  The 19 sure was.
