I took the plunge today of plugging it in and turning the power on no
smoke fans work
You clearly like living dangerously...
Upper keypad did not light up buti might be missing
something other
HAve you done any electrical tests at all? At the very least you need to
check the power supply voltages, without power the machine is not going
to do a lot. They, I guess, you have the fun job or debugging the logic
than I still need to get the ars33 working it's
living but I think
needs the normal cleaning and oiling
They normalyl need that. The manuals are not hard to get off various web
sites, I would recoemnd reading them before you start (I did my
firstASR33 with no docuamtation at all, I did all the adjustments by
thinking what they should do, and it worked second time... But then I had
a mis-spent childhood dismantlign and repairing all sorts of things).
You want to get the parts book too. It has exploded diagrams of the
complete machine, very useful when you want to know where 'that washer'
should go...
It's been some years since I worked on an ASR33, but it'll all come back
to me very quickly...
