Nicely done! I've done a little ASR-33
maintenance over the years -
cleaning, lubricating (with real oil!) and a few specific adjustments
take care of many common issues. I've only rarely had to do more
(like replace the hammer pad after it turns into a gooey jellybean).
I reparied my first ASR33 over 25 years ago. At the time I didn't have
the 3 grey books, so I just took it completely apart, figured out how it
should work, cleaned all the parts, put oil in the appropriate places,
and put it back toguther. I still remeebr goign rounf all the local tool
shops looking for a 9/64" allen key (used for the bolts hold the rear
carriage rail in place) -- this is a common size in the States, but not
included in most UK sets.
No it didn;'t work first time. I had the print supression linkage way out
of adjustment, so it tried to print something even when it received a
control code.
The second ASR33 I repaired was a lot easier. Firstly because I had the
experience amd secondly becuase I had the manuals...
