You clearly like living dangerously...

HAve you done any electrical tests at all? At the very least you need to 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 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...

I hope to get an ASR33 one day. When I do, the plan is to get it connected
somehow to SIMH running TOPS-20 on the PDP10 emulation, and probably also to
my PDP11, when I get that working....
