I have just acquired a number of PDP-8 paper tapes.

I am looking to beg, borrow or buy a paper tape reader or
reader/punch (stand alone or PC04) so that I can archive
these tapes as they are getting more and more rare.
I have a stepper-sprocket EECO optical paper tape reader
with motor-driven reels and spring arms. One of the arms
got broken off but it could still work with fan-fold tapes.
It does have a 12 V parallel interface, however. It is a
19" rack mount unit.
