[GreenKeys] 33 on ebay

[Clay Archer]

I just bought one from Rochester, NY a couple weeks ago off of eBay.      I was the only bidder and picked it up for $200 (and another $200 freight).    Another just sold last week in So. California for $380.   They had listed it as “Telatype”.   I had the first bid on that one too but as I had just bought the one in NY I didn’t go after the one in California.   Although it looked in better shape, had all the parts, and was a lot closer to where I live, I blew my “hobby budget” on the first one, so I didn’t increase my bid and let it get away.      It’s interesting a lot more 33’s are showing up lately.    Now that I have two ‘33’s , I probably won’t bid on any more Teletypes unless a 35 becomes available.

 

For the one I just bought I will need some parts.   It hasn’t arrived yet, but from the photos it looks like I will need the punch buttons / cover and the clear plastic paper tape reader clip.     When it arrives I will probably be adding more parts to the list.    If anyone has parts please let me know what you want for them.      Also, the front of the plastic cover  above the line / local switch has a few chips out of the plastic.   What would be a good filler or repair material?

 

Thanks,

Clay
