[GreenKeys] LPR35 BRP

[Joe Duszyński]

Eric and W2HXEugene
In Eric's post he said he has a BRPE the photos from Eugene is an LPR
who's 3 digit code is BRP that is not a BRPE.

The  BRPE is a totally different punch it is electronically controlled
and timed and spits out tape at 100cps (1000 wpm).

As an aside...The DRPE is even faster than the BRPE 200cps (2000wpm).

Both are stand alone boxes with large Tube or Transistor driven controls.

>> these two screws look like they sheared off, but I suspect they were previously broken and just sitting in the holes with some grease. I can’t see how what I did could shear two screws, but alas, here we are.
