[GreenKeys] Early Model 14 / WU 2B tape printer on eBay

[John Nagle]

More usefully, there's a Model 14 / WU 2B tape printer on eBay.

This one seems to have all the parts. It still has a ribbon
and paper tape in it.  And the seller is willing to ship it for
$45.  So if you want a tape printer, here's your chance.

It looks like the paper exit ramp is bent, but that can be fixed.
That's an indication that the machine was lying on its left side.
No visible dents in the case, so it probably wasn't dropped.
The interior machinery looks reasonably clean and un-rusted.
The keyboard needs a through cleaning.  Old-style keyboard,
pre- "Green keys".

It has a Holtzer-Cabot electric motor, which I haven't seen before
but is apparently not that unusual.

(I still sell tape for those machines at "http://www.aetherltd.com".)
