The ”reels” that feed the tape out from the center (often designed to sit on the floor but there was an elaborate option available for the 28ASR that looked rather impressive) are unobtanium. Might be a good custom 3D print if we could get the drawings.

Why did they not used take up reels with paper tape?-Steve

Teletype made and sold a variety of tape winders for their
models from 14 on up ...  Some were hand-driven, but most
are motorized.  I have several which I have not yet
'catalog' to make available, but will be doing so in the
future.
