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.

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.

I assumed wrong. They are drop in units. I don't know if they need the boot.

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?
