[GreenKeys] Paper Holder for ASR-33

[tony.podrasky]

Hello Rick;

Welcome to the Green-Keys forum.

If you can't find "the real deal", take the cardboard tube
from an empty roll to your favorite "fix-stuff in your home"
store and go into the sprinkler section and look at the white
PVC pipes they have. If there is none that size, you'll be able
to find something in plumbing or electrical that will fit the bill.

UE,
