[GreenKeys] Looking for help with KSR33

[Nick England]

I have no M33 experience, but am curious. The 28 typing reperf uses a
similar typewheel and hammer. The early 28 reperfs had a steel hammer. Did
the typewheel material change so that bare steel was very destructive on
the M33?

Idle curiosity.
