[GreenKeys] ASR 33 Weird Symptom

[B Degnan]

Hi all,
First off, thank you, the "Cincinatti ASR 32" has been claimed.

Question - My ASR 33 started acting up lately.  I can turn it on and use if for a few minutes but after a while the machine starts making a terrible noise, not the normal chatter sound we are all familiar with.  I am unsure if the belt is seizing up, not catching on the motor or if the motor or the shaft it spins is the cause.  I need to spend some time to figure out what's going on, but I was curious if anyone was familiar with this symptom.  The next day if I power it on it'll work ok again for a few minutes.  I hate to leave it on while this is happening so I can't just leave it running as it sounds like it's hurting the machine making so much noise.
I don't think it's the large cap in the back left.Again, I have not spent much time to diagnose the cause, but I am curious if this symptom sounds familiar to some of the experts here in this group.  I'd like to limit experimenting while the machine is not functioning correctly.  Only making it worse.
I am located in Kennett Square, PA off RTE 1 between Philadelphia and Baltimore.

ThanksBill Degnanvintagecomputer.net
