Hi Jos:
I forwarded your message to some folks that may know more about your
problem, and I'll let you know when I hear back.
The 33 does not have the longevity of other machines like the 35, 28, 15...
It was designed as a "light-duty" machine, and has "bend-this-part" kind
of adjustments in places instead of eccentic screws, etc. When they hit
enough hours, they seem to crap out. But yours may just need some TLC.
One word of warning for any mechanical device, especially a teletype --
never use WD-40. It is shellac-based and will turn to gunk in a couple of
years. (just like it does on everyones door hinges). I use 3-in-one oil
for light linkages, 20W or 30W motor oil for heavier needs, and lithium
grease for cams, etc.
