asr 33 platen

Good question, french dressing, nah - lol belt dressing - not sure if it even softens the belt but it does swell the belt. armor all - may work - might soften the platen - but it leaves a very slick coating - i wonder if the paper will stay in one place as the platen moves. the type "ball" hammer also has a rubber "button" that slips over it - i know those and the platen were once replacable - try a search for "teletype" on the web. i know the nadcomm meseum http://www.nadcomm.com/ has a link for teletype paper tape and paper on it. the nadcomm page links are near the bottom under the heading "Teletypewriter Supplies" Bill Date: Sat, 08 Feb 2003 14:51:14 -0700 From: ben franchuk <bfranchuk(a)jetnet.ab.ca> To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Subject: RE: asr 33 platen Reply-To: cctech(a)classiccmp.org George R.
