[GreenKeys] any good way to reel up printed paper?

Normally the paper winder (LPW) is mounted on the rear of the cabinet.  it 
is run by a small electric motor.  the paper is tensioned by a paper bail 
that has a mercury switch mounted on it to turn the motor on and off to take 
up the slack.  There is also another, older model (PW) that is a bit more 
complex, and it also is mounted on the rear of the cabinet.  I think I have 
only the one I'm using, but I'll do a little spelunking in my garage to 
confirm it.  I gave away a lot of stuff some years ago.  So don't hold out 
any hope from here.

Good luck,
Gil, W1RG

hello all.  I've been having fun with my new 28KSR but the rtty contests 
seem a little, shall we say, boring?

Any way, I've printed several feet of paper and have been letting it sorta 
pile up behind the 28. I was wondering if there are "better" methods to have 
the paper roll back up? I seem to recall some models that had a drum to roll 
up the printed paper, but are there any stand alone take up drums that can 
be mounted behind or beneath a 28 ksr?
thanks
Eugene
PS If anyone is interested, I've been studying for my technicians exam and 
was ready to take the exam tonight! Then I realized I got my dates mixed up 
and I missed the exam, it was saturday not sunday! Oh well, will try a VE 
exam given at columbia university one evening. Will keep you posted
Eugene
