Out with the old, in with the new. In 2002 Better Packages changed the Lower Tape Plate and added a "J" plate and changed the Pressure Plate Assembly to accommodate future E-Z Pull Tab Tape. Note the changes in the new style Pressure Plate and an added Support Bracket. These parts will only fit the older machines if ALL are replaced at the same time. After 2007 Better Packages went back to the old style FM11X lower tape plate.
Pictured are the newest parts for the TS333.
