I use 20VAC. I can Print the time card. (very light printing. need ink )
FYI - The standard power supply is 20 Volts AC 60 cycle, but it was also available for other power sources. The TCI Library has a lot of information on the model 33 calculagraph. Open library page, pull up the Google search engine and type in calculagraph and hit search.

Does any one know where to get a replacement ribbon? If so, what is the p/n ?

I have 2 20vac calculagraphs they both have black handles.
I have a 110vac calculagraph it has 1 green and 1 red handle.
Between the 3 are 2 test boots and 1 tool to set the time.

BTW I am willing to sell/trade these as a set and I know where they are.
I don't think the ribbon is even available anymore... where does anyone even find typewriter ribbons these days? easiest solution is the manually reink it with stamp pad ink. if that doesn't work, well then... good luck...

A couple years back i did find an online ribbon seller. Sent them the width that I needed, I thought I could cut it to length, but not width. They did not have a suitable ribbon. Yes, the re-inkng method might be the only solution.
Here's what I was told was a time card for the model 33 Calculagraph that you can print off. Click to enlarge.

I got one a few months back. Haven't had a chance to power it up yet. It's missing the bottom outer shell, not sure if it's needed, will submit this to the experts...

My understanding is that is a test/storage boot. I have always assumed that they are rack mounted, That is based on their look.
Jim
I assumed wrong. They are drop in units. I don't know if they need the boot.
these were mounted recessed on the desk part of the switchboard there might be a cubbyhole for unused and used time cards
I had the chance to buy one many years ago, but I thought the price or $75. Was kinda high. Or was that a good deal?

Calculagraph Model 33's at work on a telco long distance operator's work station. The GTE picture may be a collectors switchboard display. Click twice to enlarge.
Jeff Lamb
Do you know if they need the boot? Or do they drop-in with-out it?
Jim
I'm not sure Jim. If I had to guess, I would say yes, but only because of the friction power contacts inside. I would imagine if an operator was having issues with one, the technician responding to the work order would want to simply pull out the offending calculagraph and drop in a replacement, set the time, and he's done. They wouldn't lose an operators position for any length of time.
Even I could change one out and set the time in probably less than 45 seconds.

I just received a nice model 33 calculagraph. It even has the walnumt? wood case. I need a power supply 20v, 560 cycle. Preferably regulated. I see power supplies mentioned in this thread. I camso tell me where to get one? Thanks.
