I'm new to the field; _very_ new.  I've been following matters here  for a 
number of months, in large part because I found myself in the possession  of 
a restorable Model 14 Receiving-only (Low Base) Typing Reperforator.   
Outside is a little beat up, but the insides have been kept well lubricated  and 
mostly seems to be suffering from a moderate amount of congealed  grease.  
The internal sound-deadening foam is actually intact (which  surprises me, 
but maybe not you all).

The "Aetheric Message Machine Company" has a bounty of Model 14  manuals 
online (thank you!) from which I was able to identify my possession,  and 
learn about chadless perforating ... and why one would want to do such a  thing 
:->!

I also received an ASR-32 which was stated to be working "last  year", and 
although 5-level code is not what I grew up with (I'm an ASR-33  baby I 
guess ...), it seems to me that the ASR-32 ought to be able to read the  
M14-produced tape, because of its pin-based reader.  Do I have that  correct?

And one other question:  The left edge of the base has a  cutout, behind 
which is a pre-wired cable harness that has been neatly taped  and tied off.  
My best guess is that a transmitter-distributer might have  attached there, 
but I can't find any reference to such a configuration.   Does anyone know 
what purpose was served there?

Any warnings that you'd care to toss-my-way will be heeded  :->.

Good health,

paul
