I obtained a cheap (10 USD) Decitek papertape reader from Ebay. ( A tip for
those who believe that to be impossible : try .de instead of .com )
However it has a seemingly exploded IC on it : IC "I" below R5 and R4, has had
it top half blown off.....
Anybody with a similar reader could look up what kind of IC it was ?
And if anyone has the pinning for this reader handy...
I just saw that Decitek still exists. Do they react kindly to hobbyists ?

I'm not sure if this is the spooler model - I have the
spooler (private labelled GE/DECITEK) model and I
really like it, it's super quality. I asked them a
question via email and they helped me but it took a
few days. The manual for my spooler model is $75.00,
but, hey, this was an expensive piece of equipment and
I'm glad to be able to get the manual at all. This is
an apparently still made industrial machine!
I have the DIP switches figured out enough to get it
to work at 4800,e,8,1, and I can spool read or step
read via switches on the front panel.
If you have the same one, contact me off list and I
will look it up.

According to the manual, IC "I" is a SN74H103N. I can send you a physical
copy of the manual, if you like. Just let me know.
