I just got a McElroy Tape puller which I am trying to restore. Thus far,
it works, electrically, by bypassing the fuse holder with an in-line
fuse. The original was the WW  II type panel mounted, screw in. Does
anybody have one of these loose they would part with or even the screw
in cap.

I also need a drive spring, an item similar to the drive springs on
movie projectors and the TG 34 code trainer. Does anybody know where
these can be obtained?

Last item needed is what seems to be a leather drive belt. Any body know
where these can be obtained?

I would also like to obtain the military version of the McElroy tape
reader. Does anybody have one they would part with at this time?

Thanks,

Bill Howard
