I have managed to obtain an ASR33 Teletype and have started taking a look at
it. I have found various manuals and I am starting to go through them.
I have partially dismantled it to clean it up a bit. The typing unit seems
to be in fairly good condition, but the paper tape punch looks like it needs
work.
I'd like to check if the machine is basically healthy and just in need of
lubrication or if it needs to be completely stripped down (which is a
daunting prospect), are there some simple tests I can do on it without
applying power?
Thanks
Rob
