Mine has an induction motor. There are contacts in the "hardware
UART", of course, but is there enough current flowing through that

Don't
forget THE SMELL of a room of working model 33's. I'm not sure
exactly what the smell was - probably a mix of ozone from the motors,
Why would an ASR33 motor emit ozone?
[All the AS33s I've seen have induction motors with no brushes or other
sparking contacts. Creeds often have seriosu-wound commutator motors (aka
'universal motors') with governers on them. They will spark.]
