small bit of black paper tape, and I see a single expensive roll of dark-colored 1"
tape on eBay. I'd like to get a few rolls of plain old oiled paper tape in 1"
width with a 2" core. There are several listings for narrower tape on eBay, but
I'm not seeing the 1" width that I need. I'm looking forward to filling that
chad box...

with it! :)

Mark,
Try westnc.com at http://www.westnc.com/paper-tape-rolls.html#tty for
papertape. They have both oiled & unoiled 1-inch paper tape, but
recommend the oiled tape for ASR 33s. A 1/4 case of oiled papertape
(7 each 1000-foot rolls) may be affordable to you at $92 plus
shipping. (And they have rolls of paper for the Teletype's printer
too at $112 for a case of 12 rolls, plus shipping.)
Good luck on finding a PDP-8 to go with it though. :)
