But Ed, aren't most of them on line already?  Just waiting on a nice  slow 
TTY to turn them into a picture.  Just as Tom has been doing on  Saturday 
Pix!

I see the speed issue  if  you have a massive library  of  picture  tapes 
you want to read in and  put online

Sorry, I don't get the speed issue? I have no need for any  speed. Slow is 
fine.  But as it seems that standalone 8-bit  readers/punches made by 
teletype corporation are not common, I might have  to look at other brands. And 
while I would like current loop, it seems  many readers are parallel.

But if we're trying to keep  alive the history of our heavy metal, why does 
the fact that the TTY  readers (and printers) are slow even figure into the 
equation?  If  all you're interested in is speed, go with modern 
technology. Besides how  many tapes do you have to read anyway?

there's several  tape readers on eBay. From complete units to parts.
