Welcome, Peter. Is it a straight-8 or an 8/e or something?

I bought the Model 33 from the guy in Atlanta.  Was a straightforward deal.  Called him, drove to Atlanta, paid him the $35 and drove it home.
It is in very good condition.  It was some kind of "portable" model.  Needs a new print hammer and ribbon, and probably a new belt for the typing unit.  The foam pad is, of course, crumbling.  Printing is a little balky.  It line feeds and carriage returns.  I also found a small spring sitting on the base plate.  I think I can get it running with some careful cleaning and lubrication  I am new to this list.  My name is Peter and I live in Huntsville, AL.  I really want to get this restored so I can relive 1969 using a Model 33 with a PDP8 to program in BASIC and later assembly.
