ASR 33 buzzing

[Brad H]

I found it.  It`s this thing:

I can actually see it trying to engage when I plug in.  That is *definitely* where the noise is from.   If I rotate the motor with it on, the noise changes depending on where the rotation is at.

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.
