I have a pile of drives I've been buying for just this reason.
Unlike the Wangteks, later rev Archive drives kept the same
pinch roller. If you're unable to find any out there, I'll
send a known working drive out (assume you want the bare Q36
one..)
you need a roommate? :-)
I assume this is for Q24 media (9 trk) ?
I'm actually not sure. It's a 1/4" drive. I think it may be qic-150 drive
which uses dc-300 carts. But I may have those numbers all wrong.
(oh I see, qic-24 is track, qic-150 18 track. ok, that might explain by
some cards work in some drives but not others ;-)
I'm at home now - I'll email the model # tomorrow.
and thanks for the offer - I sent some email to a few repair shops - we'll
see what they say.

Ouch!
Teletype ASR33, apparently without platen roller handle or stand (and
reader PS?), went for $740.
Would like to have one to hear MIKBUG play again, but not that badly.
Very nice bidding war though, was anyone else watching? :-)

This is why a lot of folks (including moi - a long-time eBayer) *HATE*
eBay... I am tempted, but will resist the urge, to write both the morons
that bid the thing up and apprise them of the Average Market Value for a
semi-ratty tabletop ASR33 with a bunch of Stuff missing...
Of course had it been *my* 33 that I sold for +5X it's worth, I prolly
would feel... differently.

FYI: At least one oy my teletypes has the reader power supply in the main
assembly...

Now there is some honest bias... If the price gets high, then the venue is
the cause and is evil, unless one is the seller!
Makes me wonder how many participants on this list who post anti-ebay
sentiments are actually sellers [I know of a few] and freely admit to being
an eBay buyer, and seller.

Count me in here. I'll use it when it's to my advantage, but with
specific regards to this hobby...well, my views are well known.

Both eBay newbeez (judging by low feedback numbers).
