[MRCG] FTGH - M-209 Converter Paper Tape

[Thomas Neill]

Nick,
  Would that be the same size as used in the RC-58 facsimile?  If so, I would love to have it as I've been searching for a source of modern replacement paper tape for a while now.  I'll check my measurements later when I get home.

-Thanks!  Tom

I have been moved to mercy by reading the various schemes to slit and paste
together old credit card receipts or to raise pine trees to make your own
paper tape, etc. ....

I have in my hands a pristine 8" roll of 3/8" ungummed paper tape (900'
long I believe).
Who wants it and will promise to share any extra with other desperate
M-209ers? Free. Free. Free,

As usual, in the event of multiple requests I will make an arbitrary
decision, but can be influenced by tales of woe, your plans to encode the
entire Encyclopedia Britannica, semi-believable heartwarming stories about
how an M-209 saved you from eternal damnation, etc.

Offer void where prohibited by law. Limit one free roll per millennium. Not
open to employees of Teletype Corp. or their families. Ask your doctor if
paper tape is right for you.

Cheers,
