Christian - FYI, from a recent GK thread: I contacted https://www.adorablesupply.com to get clarification about their pin feed paper since sometimes people call 9.5" paper 8.5" if it has tear off edges. Turns out the guy who responded knew what a Teletype machine was. I mentioned Teletype restoration as a generic reference and his response was "I go back a long way with the Teletype 28's" They also can supply tape in both 11/16" and 1". I suspect they could also do 7/8". Wonder if they could do gummed back WU style tape? -
