The ASR has a different keyboard base, cabinet, TD, etc. You'd only re-use the printing unit.
But M28 standalone TD and standalone reperf are relatively common. See here for examples -

I worked with Mike yesterday to get his model 28 on the air. Success! We
had a solid copy local QSO on 20 meters last night.

We ran into some interesting issues. The HAL-6000 seems to be a bit
sensitive to RF. With high RF, the AFSK modulator would not key. Just
continuous mark. We improved system grounding and added ferrites
everywhere. It now seems to work reliably with about 50 watts out of the
transmitter, but just mark at 100 watts.

Also, Mike has a 28KSR. Is it possible (or practical) to add tape
equipment to this, making it ASR? I use at 15 with 14 TD and typing
reperf. He could do that too, if he wants more heavy metal. But a
perforator and punch on the 28 would be nice.
