Or to make it on-topic here, turning an ASR33 over by
hand. For anyone
Incidentally, if you've just reassembled some complex mechanical device,
like an ASR33, _ALWAYS_ turn it over by hand before powering up the
motor. It's better to detect you've got something out of adjustment that
will jam the mechanism when _you're_ turning it than to have the motor
strip some gear teeth or worse.
(And yes, I will admit I learnt that the hard way!)

who has such a machine, or any other mechancial
teleprinter, I strongly
recoemnd doing this.
