[GreenKeys] ASR-33 disaster! Crushed paper tape reader

[David V. Corbin]

I have a reader in the same condition.... wondering if a 3d printed replace may be appropriate if a few chipped in....

Greetings all,

I had a holiday disaster today - when looking for an item in my work area, I accidentally crushed the corner of my ASR-33.  The cover was off so it's totally intact, but I broke the plastic frame for the reader sense wires, the engagement lever, and possibly one of the springs.

I'm writing in case anyone happens to have spare parts/spare unit, even a partial or broken unit as long as I can get the plastic parts I'm looking for.  I may try to glue things up, but I'm not totally confident it will be sturdy enough to run.

Thanks!
