The old ASR-33 that was old when I used it for a printer back in 1976=20 was noisy. About 4 Years ago I was at an estate sale and they had it at the sale. =20 I know it was the one I had because of some holes i had drilled in it=20 for some reason. The antique dealer wanted $950 for it claimed it still worked. All it=20 did was make noise when you turned it on. I offered to haul it away if he paid me $25.
