ASR-33 H-Plate - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Hi
 You need to reset the keyboard first by twisting it to
match up to the same angle. Once that is done, you jam
a screwdriver blade into the slot of the H to push against
the spring and get it reinstalled.
Hope this makes sense.

 Aargh.....

In the continuing quest to get my ASR-33 operational, it was discovered that
the typing unit had shifted at some point and the h-plate connecting the
typing unit back to the keyboard had popped out [I actually "found" it
laying in the bottom of the case under the typing unit.

Although the lever from the typing unit is spring loaded, I can not get the
h-plate in. The connection levers are at different angles, preventing the
h-plate from properly being inserted. Although I can move the levers a bit
manually, I can not get them to rotate such that they are in the same plane.

If anyone has any ideas, please contact me ASAP.

I am pulling my hair out.

David
