But that takes away replicating the feel of  the old days: the anticipation 
of waiting for the broadcast, having to find the  signal on the right 
frequency at the designated time, having to hook up the  equipment to the radio, 
fiddling because you got something wrong and missing  half the picture, etc. 
Ah the conveniences of the mode

Paul and all:
 
Funny you should mention that - the tapes I received were full  of errors 
and dropouts.  I tried to fix them the best I could.
 
I myself have never received pix VIA RTTY, but I understand  what you are 
saying....It must have been enough to tear your hair out.  LOL
 
Does anyone have any information as to why these tapes had  multiple 
"bells" inter spaced throughout???  Was it to keep you  awake?  ;-)
 
Also - I noticed with interest about the replication of the  print hammers 
- I think it was for the 33?
 
 A while back someone mentioned the replication of the  print hammers for 
the typing reperf. Was there any interest in  that? 
 
 I don't think we would need ten thousand.
