[GreenKeys] ASR-33s / ASR-32

[Don Robert House]

You need to replace the typing unit, keyboard and tape reader, as 
well as the call control unit.  I can send the 32 units to you when I 
am next at the museum.   I would just send you the 32 minus the base 
pan, cover and stand.  I don't think the freight would be that 
expensive.  All put together the machine would be expensive.   I need 
to build a crate but still not too bad of a job.  You can save the 33 
for when you come to the states some day, or send the parts with a 
friend, etc., etc.

Converting the existing machine would take a long time, a lot of 
work, and you still would not have the proper controls and call 
control unit.  Gears are also a big problem as most spares have all 
been used up.  At the museum we have the very last 60 wpm gear for 
the model 32.  Someday I hope to make reproductions of the gear and 
the print hammers.
