I can't help from personal experience (my ASR-35 from N.J. hasn't made it
home yet - it went from The Armory to Canada and should be in Ohio by
the end of the month), but I can make the suggestion that it sounds
like a dirty contact in the output rotor or a broken/disconnected
lever under the keyboard. Looks like you are missing 2**3 in your
parallel->serial conversion, but I couldn't guess at what stage.
I do not own nor am I expecting any ASR-35 manuals. Perhaps the
Greenkeys list mentioned elsewhere might be useful to you for securing
a set of docs. I'll have to be hitting them myself when my 35 shows
up. I'm certain it's in need of a PM cleaning and lube, and I have *no*
idea how to do it at the moment. (The TTY itself still has strapping
tape on the carriage and protective film on the cover - except for a
test sheet, it looks virtually new. Still needs a lube job, though).
