I'll certainly take a look at the service manual if it ends up on 
Bitsavers or somewhere similar.

I haev 2 of these terminals... At a radio rally nearly 20 years ago I 
bought a KSR version (no tape drives). The seller had 4 old printers, he 
started off trying to sell them for a farly high price (\pounds 10.00 
each or something), by the end of the take he too \pounds 5.00 for all 4. 
The one I particularly wanted was the Teletpye KSR43, the others with the 
TI 733 and a couple of Cnetronics printes (brand, not (just) interface) 
with a strange carriage feed mechanism. At the same rally, from another 
seller I bought the dual tape drive unit. I didn't realise it would go on 
the TI terminal until I got it home, saw the TI logo all over the tape 
drive parts, and relaised the 'feet' would fit on top of the terminal if 
I remvoed a couple of cover plates. What I didn't have was the cable to 
link them. Oh, the tape unt is missing the outer cover but otherwise 
seems to be complete/

Anyway, about 10 years later a friend of mine had the ASR model, complete 
with covers and cable. I asked if I could 'buzz out' the cable and he 
gave me the complete device. 

So I have one complete ASR model, a KSR one, and the working bits of a 
tape unit.

I don't have that.
