[GreenKeys] Western Union 2B Parts Needed

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Dan  >> can you spare another  core  for our  2B  at  SMECC we are setting 
up ?  we have the gumming desk and the   tape moistener ///    
 
Dick  >>The  tape moistener  we got was a fluke I got  it  with a bunch of 
other  WU do-dads and did not know what it was  till I asked here...   piece 
by piece the system is assembling!
 
OK >>  I also want to experiment  with  floating some  gum over one side of 
Nagel tape drying  it and re-rolling  some...  then  actually doing the 
process of  wetting and sticking down in the  gumming station...

Dick -  

Regarding the tape moistener for your WU 2-B, they seem to come up  with 
some regularity on eBay.
Having the real thing is far better than  making a substitute, IMHO.
Also, I made some plastic cores for the  large-center-hole tape that John 
Nagle has/had, which I have given to several  Greenkeyers.
Let me know and I’ll see if I can find an extra, if you go  with his very 
excellent paper tape.
My 2-B is a treasure and remains the  machine most people want to see 
demonstrated.
I have a couple of old  telegrams beside it so that people can see what the 
finished telegram looked  like, and how we communicated back when …
