[GreenKeys] Western Union 2B Parts Needed

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Dick   the  2b uses smaller than  3/8  by   a  bit... John Nagle has  some 
he ordered   a bunch from  china... none of  these  stuff is  gummed  must 
gummed   stuff is  stuck together.
http://www.aetherltd.com/supplies.html   see this  page....
 
if  you find a  source  for gummed  stock let me  know.... if  you want to 
see if  you can  talk a manufacturer  into making gummed stock  also me know.
 
I toyed with the idea of taking a roll of John's tape and try to  figure  
how  to gum one  side of it........
 
we  want to demo  this stuff like they used to use it!
 
we have one of the glass  wetting thingisis  but only  one    happy to 
photo it in detail if  you want to   build one ... pretty funny  got it with a 
bunch of  W U stuff and did  not know  what it was  until I asked the  old 
time folks  here!
 
glad  you  got the ttys  be  sure  you oil them  up  well  before use!

I  realize the parts and accessories listed below may be hard to find but 
the  recent thread about the Model 11 rare birds prompts me write with our  
needs.

As some may know, we recently received a donation of a long  desired 
Western Union (Teletype) 2B strip printer from a generous member of  this list.  
The intent is that it will be exhibited as a stand in for the  2B that we see 
in the 1946 photo of the KPH operating room.

Please see  the attached photos.

The machine appears to be in excellent, original  shape.  But we are 
looking for the following items:

Tape reel  cover

3/8" paper tape (gummed preferred but non-gummed would be great  too)

Moistener/cutter. I'm not sure what the real name for this tool is  but it 
was used by the operators to moisten the tape for sticking to the  radiogram 
blank and cutting the tape to the proper length.

All leads to  any of these admittedly scarce items will be gratefully  
received.

Regards,

RD
