I got email from someone near Albany NY cleaning out her grandfather's
stuff. They have a Wheatstone tape perforator that needs a new home. Also
called a Kleinschmidt perforator, this one was made by Teletype Corp. to
punch Morse code characters in paper tape which was then read by a
motorized keyer to send Morse at speeds up to 400 wpm.

Note - these things seem difficult to ship without damage. In particular,
the casting around the keyboard area easily can get cracked. IF you are
interested, but not local, make an appeal for someone on the list to pick
it up, take it to a hamfest for transfer to another person, etc. as we have
recently discussed.
