Hi Richard:


I think I have a tape-wetter-thingy around here somewhere I can send you  
-- contact me off-list.


The WU 2B tape is 5/16" IIRC.  I have a 2B as well.  I also  have a roll of 
gummed tape that has, as other folks mentioned, absorbed enough  humidity 
to become a frisbee.


I am confused at your attached pictures -- the first B&W one looks to  be a 
2B tape printer, but the second color pic is clearly an M14 that  
prints/punches on 11/16" tape.

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
