[GreenKeys] Looking for some ASR32/33 Parts

[Cory Heisterkamp]

Jack, what you just mentioned jarred something loose in my head. To make sure I wasn't imagining things I just checked my model 32. Looks like Teletype switched materials on these at some point. The knob on the 32 is a dark gray solid plastic that looks like it could get brittle with age. The knob on my 33 is almost translucent, and feels "soft" to the touch.

It doesn't look like much precision is needed here to dupe these knobs on a 3D printer. Certainly a thought for someone with some expertise... -C
