Lee,

I am sorry.  I forgot the 19 has a sprocket feed typing unit.   
Sprocket feed is where the pins are all around the platen.  Tractor  
feed is when a separate set of tracks pulls up the paper instead of or  
with the platen.  In the case of the model 43 either sprocket or  
tractor could be used.  The tractor was a separate modification kit.

Teletype also made a modification kit for a 9 1/2" platen so that the  
more modern computer paper could be used.  I would really like to get  
my hands on one of those mod kits for my 28 ASR.  The 9 1/2" computer  
paper is less expensive.  Supply and demand I guess.

Regarding your problem; I have come up with some options.  I purchased  
my sprocket feed paper on-line from Moore-Wallace.  They stock just  
about any type of form you can imagine.  However they are in the  
process of updating their website since being purchased by RR Donnelly.

Here are some alternatives.  I can also send you a "short stack" to  
get you going.
