While I don't usually search eBay for this
sort of item, a friend mentioned
something to me which prompted me to search for something magtape related and
I ended up bidding on this item and winning it (eBay will be my death):
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2762437052&ssPag…
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what vintage it is and what
equipment it was used in? Pictures or URLs would be a bonus...

Tom, back in about that era IBM produced a thing called the MTST (Magnetic Tape ????
Typewriter). It has been eons since I laid hands on one or even seen one so my memory is
pretty fuzzy, but I'd not be surprised if that was not the use of that tape.
