[GreenKeys] Looking for Teletype Owner/Advisor in Minnesota, Model 33 ASR Restoration Help?

[David V. Corbin]

100% replace the rubber. If you can’t get a proper rubber dot of the right type clear tubing, I believe 5/8 inch diameter for memory slid over the bar works pretty well. That is what I am currently using on the three that I have restored.

I guess possibly the most important thing is to replace the rubber cover for the hammer. If that disintegrates it will smash the typewheel quite quickly, as I understand it. Someone on this list has manufactured new ones so make sure you get one.

I recently acquired a Teletype Model 33 ASR as an estate sale, hoping to restore this unit for use with my Altair 8800 (clone).  Is anyone reading this located in central Minnesota who could offer some guidance to a rookie or share their restoration do’s/don’ts?
