Convinced that's an Altair and matching disk drive on this evening's Six Million Dollar Man.

And here is the baby brother of the ASR33 - The KSR33. Same thing minus the paper tape reader and punch and a few kilos of weight. Its funny how you wait ages to get something then you end up with two in a short space of time. photos.app.goo.gl/CYyFEP21JgyY...

At last ! The ASR 33 now up and running. Connected via a 20mA current loop to WiFi converter based on ESP32S3. @heredragons.be photos.app.goo.gl/AtT3tv9pWAdf...

So, the ASR 33 Teletype is almost all working. Line feed not working since I replaced the platten roller and its not quite printing characters on the paper- although doing all the right movement. Punch works, not tested the reader yet. @heredragons.be photos.app.goo.gl/sMCE3jw4bD9N...

Teletype ASR 33 stripped down to its subsystem parts, cleaned and lubricated. Waiting for a few parts from the USA before firing it up for the first time in many years. @heredragons.be

Nice to meet you today @tjewell.bsky.social . Its a small world. Teletype ASR33 now safely home, rodent evidence free and its had a decent initial clean and mechanical survey. Updates to follow.

Hooray! My 1977 JVC HR-3300 finally working again after a new set of belts, some optical sensor fixes and a good old clean and lube.
