That is a Model 31 tape printer -- I have one. There are only about a
dozen of them known here on greenkeys, so someone should pick it up. I got
mine running after not too much work, thanks to some M31 info from Jack
Hart and Jim Haynes, who also have M31s.
It looks in decent shape -- wish I was feeling richer these days.
