[GreenKeys] FRXD tape unit

[Lee Mushel]

I loved this thread.   You know, the topic of the FRXD doesn't come up too 
often and mine came from a dirt floor garage and would best be described as 
a rusty mess before complete disassembly and cleaning.   I don't have the 
cover of course and that has always bothered me but now that I know others 
don't either I don't feel so bad.   I just took a look at mine and see that 
the stamped metal guide exists that obviously directed the tape down into a 
loop "below" somewhere.   If there was a "table" of some sort for it with a 
hole that could easily accommodate a considerable stored length.  This could 
be a problem similar to that faced by an owner of a Model 26 who doesn't 
have a Model 26 table and must certainly wonder how you could feed paper in 
such a situation.  No, please don't ask me to fire it up.  At the moment I 
am trying to figure out where close to 100 amperes of 13.8 volt DC is 
disappearing inside the case of my Flex5000A.   That problem is eating up 
all of my spare energy.
