Hello.
I have an ASR 33 teletype that I am trying to clean up and make it run
well. It does work. I plan to have it hooked up to a PC via a current
loop to RS232 adapter and have HeavyMetal feeding it text. It is very
dirty. I replaced the ribbon. Basically, here's what I'd like to know:
What parts need to be cleaned and/or lubricated?
How do I clean out the paper tape punch scrap container?
Can I use compressed air to remove dust, or would that cause damage?
Thanks much
Joe
