[MRCG] FTGH - M-209 Converter Paper Tape

[Thomas Neill]

Nick,
  I have a couple of rolls that came in a CH-108 a few years ago.  Here are some pics and measurements...note that I burned an inch when measuring the total diameter of the roll.

From the TM:
Tape M-298, paper, 3/4" wide; on roll 7" diam. with chipboard core 1 1/8" ID.

If yours is only 3/8" wide and an 8" roll then it isn't a match. 🙁

Thanks, Tom
