If you've got one that you're working on, why are you looking for another
complete Model 33, rather than spare parts/manuals? These machines are
not difficult to repair...

Unlikely (but I guess possible). Most of the Model 33s used with
computers have a current loop interface, either 20mA or 60mA. Converting
that to/from RS232 is an interesting little project.
