The problem with my ASR33's linefeed has been traced to a disintegrated piece
of plastic on the upstop bracket of the linefeed linkage. (item no. 18708)
Without this plastic piece the upstop vertical adjustment range is too small
for a reliable linefeed. A few windings of plastic tape did the trick.
My ASR now prints out a sourcecode papertape quite nicely.

Thanks for all the tips. As to WD40 : I never use the stuff...

The next, and hopefull last problem of my ASR : the keyboard.
It sometimes misses a bit ( B becomes A etc. ) This is more than likely
curable by adjusting or replacing the contact wires.
However the keyboard also quite often gives out 2 characters for each key
pressed. I am at a loss as to what could cause this behavior. Tips anyone ?

My ASR33 came with a reasonable number of original replacement parts. Should
 anybody be in dire need of a part to get her/his ASR running again...
