I've bought a model 33 off eBay. The seller doesn't
really know how to ship one -- he's just got it in a
box with styrofoam peanuts. I'm trying to give him
some instructions on how to do it right. I recall
that
there is a shipping screw that must be locked, but
don't remember the details. Can anyone give me some
You _must_ bolt the typing unit -- the main chassis -- down. If you
don't, you'll do a lot of damage when you ship it. THere's a hole
underneath that takes a self-tapping screw to do this -- officially the
screw was supposed to be cliped to one of the carriage belt brackets
inside, but I've never seen one. If all else fails, 'borrow' a screw
from, say, the platten mounting for this.
