What's much harder to find is *unoiled* *folded*
paper tape, the kind

(Oiled tape fouls the punch, and only comes in reels.) Does anyone know
of a supplier for that?
If only I hadn't been picked clean by looters ... I got 11.9 miles of
it (the DEC "Programmed Data Processor" stuff) with my PDP-8/E in 1983.
I have no idea WTF happened -- it seemed like after each move another
carton was missing. Anywway I agree that rigging up a contraption to
fold your own might actually be a fun project.
