It WILL be damaged if shipped without the locking screw.
This comes up often enough that someone with an ASR 33 should
mock up the operation with photos and post in on the web with
good metas for google to find. I don't have a 33 or I would offer
to do it. ID the threads and all, "borrow" one from elsewher
in the machine, and maybe a photo of a RUINED one for constrast!
I've bought a model 33 off eBay. The seller
doesn't
really know how to ship one -- he's just got it in a
box with styrofoam peanuts. I'm trying to give him
some instructions on how to do it right. I recall
that
there is a shipping screw that must be locked, but
don't remember the details. Can anyone give me some
instructions I can pass on to him? If anyone has
shipped one of these, I'd like to know what worked and
what didn't. I remember a few stories of machines
damaged in transit showing up on the list.
Thanks,
