I have been pointed in this direction to inquire about the possible availability of a Friden Flexowiter Model SPD in the UK (I am based in the south-west). My grandfather used a Flexowriter for many years to punch tapes for the very early CNC machines and I would very much like to see if he can remember how to use one. I also have a drawer full of 8 track paper punch tape and it would be fun to read them in "the proper way". 

If any of you have one lying around or know of any, please let me know.

Kind regards

George
