[GreenKeys] GPE / I cannot believe it...

[Duncan M. Brown]

[I've been off-line for the last week]

Lar - Thanks for your comments - I thought it might be for repeating or
tape feed.

In that the Museum's unit does not have the this repeat button, I assume it
must be an early unit.

Does anyone know when the repeat button appeared on the GPEs??

Thanks,

  --Duncan
