Sorry if this screws up someone's snipe plans... but it was
offered a couple of weeks ago and closed with no bids. It
currently (10:50 am EST) has no bids with 11 hours to go. I
can't imagine that nobody one the list would want this:

The 2748B paper tape reader is a very nice unit. I'm not bidding, I have two
already. The connector on the reader is "v.35-ish", but not v.35. The other
end of the cable is "proprietary" and goes to the HP 8-bit duplex register
board. If someone has an HP box, they should definitely get this for loading
diags.

Oh yes, now I finally know where my paper tape reader came from!
I've had an optical paper tape reader for about fifteen years; I got it
with my first pdp8/e from a really nice guy in NJ. I knew it was an HP
unit, but it's missing most of its outer covers. The fellow built an
interface board for it on a piece of perfboard, and it connects to a
Positive I/O Bus Interface board in an 8/e. It works very, very well.
I just got it out of storage (hadn't seen it for about ten years) a few
days ago.
