[GreenKeys] TTY Paper

[John Spigel]

Anybody want to be first to try 8.5" X 225' headrest paper and report back?
Looks like the core is oversize and quality not the best but maybe 
someone can grab some from their doctors office and try it?
Amazon has large boxes and with prime, free shipping. Some advertised as 
smooth finish and the weight might be good for our purpose.
73, John W1AN
