ASR 33 buzzing

[william degnan]

It would actually be coming from the motor not the reader.  The motor for
the papertape reader is either in the pedestal (if your ASR is on one) or
somewhere in the UCC-6 (the power supply).  You have to follow the cable
that comes from the reader along the rim of the chassis.
