There seem to be more decwriters around and they can often be had for
cheaper. No paper tape punch/reader there though.
On another topic, I have a "Motorized Tape Punch - Model 2" made by
"Commercial Controls Corporation - Rochester 2, New York" which I
believe became Friden. I have no docs on it whatsoever. The real thing I
need to know is how to interface to it. It seems to be in adequate
physical shape, except for the chad tube. It was made of plastic and has
long since been broken off.

I'm very interested to hear of any known documentation for this beast.
There's a picture there with the case off, perhaps the Flexowriter punch
is similar inside?
