[GreenKeys] 7/8-inch Paper Tape Update

[George B. Hutchison]

For those interested in the tape...

Post office weight is 11 Lbs 10.5 Ounces per carton, so for 
practicality purposes thats 12 Lbs.

Each Carton contains 8, count 'em eight, rolls of tape. They are 
about the same diameter a 11/16-inch tape, and have two-inch 
diameter cores. They smell of OIL, and that is wonderful.

There are also four cartons of grey 11/16" tape, which is un-oiled. 
Were I to run it I would give each a good blast of WD-40 on both 
sides so as to make the punchblock happy. Each carton contains ten 
rolls.

Looking through the "Piled High" side of the shop I have about 8 
cases (32 cartons, a couple loose, but most still in the case) of 
oiled 11/16" tape which is probably excess to my needs as I have 
about twelve cases stored under a stairwell that has been there 
since 2005, when the "Hobby Building" was completed. (downstairs is 
mine, upstairs has wife's 24 x 26 foot sewing room and a guest room)

I would like to recover the costs of retrieving the stuff but not 
want to rob anyone blind. I figure $1.50/roll plus shipping is fair.

Am now going to move the Kleinschmidt stuff to the front of the 
garage and stash the tape and machinery in the back (where the 
Kleinschmidt stuff currently resides.

There is a model 19 table with base and keyboard, five model 14 
reperfs and a couple of M15 typing units still in Bellingham which I 
will retrieve this coming week. There is stilll some stuff in Bills 
trailer which also will have to be removed before he starts yelling 
at me.

I'll be checking the e-mail periodically all day.
