    I've been contacted by someone at the MIT Sloane School of 
Management.  Someone donated a Dow Jones "broad tape" machine
to them, and they want it refurbished.  It looks like a late
model, with a metal base rather than the earlier wooden ones.
Does anyone have experience with those things?

    They're page printers that use a 5" paper roll.  They
print with a typewheel and use an escapement type mechanism,
rather than start/stop Baudot like Teletypes.
