[Elecraft] Paper Tape CW sender

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Some museums would LOVE to display those. 

I suggested 

http://radiomarine.org/

I donated an old bug to them a few years back and they were very
appreciative.

Contact RD (Richard Dillman) at info at radiomarine.org. 

They are great bunch helping to preserve the history of Morse on the air.

My connection with them was that when they were still handling ship traffic
I worked them from various vessels in the San Francisco area and I've
visited them. Also, an "Elmer" of mine from way back in the 1950's was an
operator there.

Are y'all talking about an "Instructo-Graph" (if I spelled it correctly)?

Got a couple of those in the basement along with some Int'l Morse & American
Morse paper tapes.

If I remember correctly, one is a spring driven, wind up and the other has
an AC motor drive.

Interesting!  I used to own one of these (the single-hole variety) - it
never worked too well, but then I was no expert at it.  Don't remember where
I got rid of it - probably at a hamfest for a song.

I took my extra code exam with a portable version of this machine, run by
the FCC examiner.  It's a long story which I won't repeat, but it involved a
tape machine malfunction!  Cranky beasts.
