It has always mystified me that, in an ASR, the backspace solenoid wiring is soldered in and you have to cut the wiring or unsolder in order to remove the perf/reperf from the LAK base. 
Everything else in Teletype-land has plug-in or terminal strip connections…..

Hi Paul,

Actually I'm sitting here looking at a ROTR that has the power backspace

I've not hooked up a switch to it, because I can't really see it being too useful. 

You are likely correct that the switch is either blank or figures tape feed out since that would be more useful particularly for auxiliary mounted reperf.

Tom, are you sure that is a backspace button and not a tape feed button on your panel? A reperf does not run backwards, and a tape feed is important.

I am surprised at you Nick.  The hole on the right side of that panel is the tip-off. That is where the tape emerges from a dome reperf. It is a reperf control panel. Although my panel, besides the hole, only has two controls - a power switch and a backspace button (which does not work.)
