forget THE SMELL of a room of working model 33's. I'm not sure
exactly what the smell was - probably a mix of ozone from the

Why would an ASR33 motor emit ozone?
I did have, years ago, a Model 14 and I seem to recall that the motor
may have been centrifugal-start, rather than capacitor start. So
there would have been a small arc when starting, but that's it.
Mostly, the Teletype oil smelled funny.
