[GreenKeys] 28 ASR Dome Reperf

[Paul Heller]

Thanks for the update. And the pictures.

Strange but I can put my pererf on with the base in the ASR. 3 bolts, all accessible from above. One at the front, two on the sides about 2/3 the way back.

That was an exercise in frustration for almost 10 minutes. It took a couple feet of tape before the re-inked ribbon got dark enough to read - and it was even printing correctly. (First Pic)

If you mount the reperf on the base first - it makes it twice as heavy and that much harder to get into the machine - and then you can't get to two of the bolts to fasten the base into the dome. That is where I am now, with only one bolt holding the unit in the machine. I may be able to get one other bolt in tomorrow.  Right now I am too busy patting myself on the back.

(Second Pic) With the switch in "K" position, it does not perforate from the keyboard either. My junk ASR does not need the typing unit in it to perforate from the Keyboard - but it is definitely only a perforater.
