    A great trick that I learned at the (awesome) ASR-33 workshop at
 VCF-E is to replace the striker with a piece of vinyl tubing.  You can
 get it at pretty much any hardware store.  Use 7/8"L, 7/16"ID, 5/16"OD
 vinyl tubing. 
How does that work? The original rubber hammer is a cap that fits over a
stud on the metal actuator. You surely don;'t put a collar of tubing
around the stud, do you/ If so, what's to stop the end of the stud
hitting the type cylidner?

Or do you somehat put a piece of the tubing as a slever ovr the complete
actuator, puting it on from,the top?

Tony,

Exactly, fit it snuggly over the whole thing like a sleeve.  Remove 
the old gummy pad first.  Works like a charm and will last for a very 
long time.  This way you don't have to cut a replacement pad and then 
find an adhesive.
