Last  Thursday, I started a project to restore a PDP-8 computer to 
operational  condition
here at the University of Iowa.  The Teletype Model 33 ASR  that came with 
this machine
is in battered condition, with a paper-tape  reader that is hanging by its 
wires and may
not be reparable.  I've  done a photographic survey of the system as it now 
stands.
See:

All the thumbnail photos are  clickable.  The photos of the Teletype are at 
the end.
of Friday's  update.  There's also a Tally high speed tape reader, so even 
if we  never
get the Teletype's reader working, we should be able to read tape  (and I 
have
another rack-mount reader on hand if that one  fails.)
