Rob,

No help on the color.  Most yellow tape is oiled.   Black is not as I 
remember.  Pink and blue I am not sure.

The tape I  have is blue. I will do what you suggest, although I don’t 
really envisage  using lots of paper tape. I will want to make sure the reader 
is working  before I show it off in October.

Regards

Rob

Rob,

What color  is your tape?

Its no  problem to use unoiled paper tape.  You can oil an inch or two and 
run it  thru the punch using deletes every month or so to be safe.

Just dont  use mylar tape.  It will dull the punch pins after awhile.

UP CLOSE TO  YOUR NOSE YOU CAN USUALLY SMELL THE OIL UNLESS THE TAPE HAS 
DRIED OUT.  

MANY OF THE  MANUFACTURERS PUT THE TAPE IN A BAG IN THE BOX OR LINED THE 
BOX WITH A SEAL  COATING.

ANOTHER  SOLUTION IS TO SPRAY BOTH SIDES OF THE ROLL WITH A MIST OF LIGHT 
WEIGHT OIL  AND PUT IT IN A PLASTIC BAG FOR AT LEAST A WEEK.

Is it right  that I should really use some kind of oiled paper tape for my 
Model 33. I seem  to remember when I used a Model 33 back in the 70s the 
paper tape was not  oiled. The only paper tape I have is not oiled as far as I 
can tell, never  having encountered oiled paper tape (as far as I know) I am 
not quite sure  what it is like.

Regards

Rob
