[GreenKeys] Model 28 Reperforator Manual or Instructions?

[Don Robert House]

Hi Derek,

Your reperforator is a ROTR... a stand-alone Receive Only Typing  
Reperforator.  These machines are used to copy incoming traffic off  
line.
They do not have a backspace.  I will look up a manual... I might have  
a duplicate and can send it to you.

You need a chad box.  Alternatively you can use a zip lock bag and a  
rubber band.

I will see if I can also find you a parts bulletin.  Jim Haynes may  
have this documentation on CD-ROM... not sure as I have not looked  
through his files recently.

More later,
Don

Hi Everyone,

Many of you suggested that I could "backspace" on my typos when  
cutting tape on the reperforator.  Once I backspaced, I could hit the  
LTRS key which would punch all 5 holes and the mistyped letter would  
not print.  This sounds like a very good idea and I was not aware  
there was a backspace option until the list members suggested it.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to backspace on my re-perforator.  I  
believe it's a model 28 (not Model 14) and here are two photos of it:

The first one is of the re-perforator out of the case:

The second one is the case:

There is a tall vertical metal tab at the front of the machine that I  
can move to the left to repeatedly punch 5 holes and advance the tape  
as long as it is held to the left.  My thinking is that this would add  
LTRS characters *after* my typo but not fix my typo.  Is there another  
control on this device that backspaces?  Does anyone have an operating  
manual for this so I can try to look this stuff up myself in the future?

The chad also seems to drop down a tube and get all over the table.   
Here's a photo:

Is there some sort of box or tray that is supposed to be under the  
long tube?  If so, does anyone have one of those for sale?

Thanks for any assistance you guys can give me.
