Is there a source for new(er) ASR33 print heads? Mine has many of the
characters worn/damaged.

I checked all of the normal places I buy printwheels, printheads, bands,
etrc and no one has anything listed for the ASR33 under any name to includes
Teletype Corp, Bell Labs or AT&T. Unless you can find a parted out machine
you might have to rebuild the characters. My guess is that they're metal? I
haven't seen an ASR33 since I was in the AF in the 76 to 78 period at
Nellis.
Look for places that rebuild typewriters, someone may be able to braze and
recarve the characters.

Try www.westnc.com, I bought there a year or so ago 3 hammer heads and
a printer head.
They also sell the papertape rolls if you are looking for them as well.

Here's something I found in the ClassicCmp archives, noting that there is a
person with a 3 volume set of manuals for the ASR33...

I collect _some_ printers - the ones I consider
interesting, or fine
examples of engineering. Amongst the ones I have are a couple oF ASR33's
(great fun to strip down and rebuild, particularly if you don't have the
service manual...), a few other Teleprinters (Creed 7E, Creed 444, Friden
Flexowriter), a couple of Sanders (12/7 and 700) - these are very well
built 7 pin dot matrix printers that use multiple passes of the printhead
(up to 8 in some fonts) to get letter quality output, a Versatec V80
(actually an ICL 6203, which has a GPIB interface), which uses an array of
electrodes to build up a charge image on specially coated paper, and then
pumps liquid toner over it, etc
Nice collection! For what it is worth, I have the 3 volume set of
Teletype manuals on the ASR 33, and one other (can't remember the
model.) If anyone needs the manual set, I think I know where another
one is.
