[GreenKeys] 35 ASR Basic Help Request

[Ken Wiebe]

Hi,

So I got that 35 ASR that Mike Lewis offered for sale (thanks again Mike).

I'm trying not to feel overwhelmed, but it's a challenge. So I thought maybe I'd request some advice about how best to proceed, starting with a few basics:

The ASR turns on, and the keys cause characters to appear on the paper. But the characters don't match the keys I'm pressing.

After typing several characters and noticing they were "wrong", the carriage advanced to right-hand stop and pressing "return" key does not return the carriage. The line feed works but the carriage is stuck in the far right position. I can type a character then line feed and type another, etc.

Thanks in advance. Also if anyone can offer some overall strategic advice about how to proceed with a 35 ASR rejuvenation I'd appreciate. This machine came with a box of parts. I can tell some parts are missing from the machine innards (like the drive to the punch unit). There's also a card missing from a card slot, etc.

I'd be happy to take pics, take inventory, etc. -- so I guess, "How would someone who is experienced approach this?" As a noob, am I doomed?

Ken
