I spent the afternoon finishing off repairs on a Teletype machine I picked
up this morning and now I'm searching for the lesser important pedestal (I
can live without it but the lack of a chad bucket will suck) and the far
more important paper tape. From what I read you can't get away with using
regular paper. It has to be prelubricated.
Where on earth do you even find that stuff anymore? All I see on abay is a
box of NOS rolls for $100 and a single roll for $150....
I found some paper of the right sizes (for a DECwriter LA120) at Staples'
websiteof all places...but I have no idea if they sell prelubricated paper
for a Teletype.
