[GreenKeys] 33ASR Nameplate

[Paul Heller]

Hi Mike,

I don’t have the ability to measure the thickness at the moment, but here are a couple of photos.  There is not much to it. There is a lip on the bottom that fits over the two protrusions on the machine (see photo), and there is a tab bent up in the middle. That’s what holds it. 

Question on how you hook it to the PDP-8E. My PDP-8E has the right card in it with a flat molex connector with 8 or so connectors.  But he wiring and colors have me stumped. Could you share some info on how to wire things up? I assume four wires, TX and RX. But which is which? Not sure about the punch control.

I do not have the front nameplate and thought that I'd like to add one to make it look a little better, but have not been able to find one. I thought of making my own from some sheet aluminum. I'm not sure of how it mounts. There doesn't seem to be any mounting screws. Could it fit in the slots at the bottom and get pinched in somehow? How thick is the original nameplate? Thanks
