I still feel the same as Sellam. I'd seen this list back in the summer on
some ng. Seems he'd be out of the country by now as he said he was about to
be. Rather high priced and if he's not interested in negotiating, well, let
him take the stuff overseas with him and get his price there.

Try Western Numeric who sell paper/mylar tape and supplies primarily to
machine shops that use punched tape for their machining programs:
http://www.westnc.com/
I didn't see exactly what you're looking for in their product index however
they are a good contact to start from to find it.
