[GreenKeys] Paper Holder for ASR-33

[teletypeparts at comcast.net]

Rick, 

The sub white PVC paper holders that Tony mentioned are great if you have some old paper that has swelled making the center hole smaller.

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,
