Isn't that a hoot! Over on the Greenkeys (Teletype) reflector a few of us
got a chuckle out of it. The seller calls it "Ticker Tape" :) Looks quite
like 1" paper tape for an ASR33 or Friden Flexowriter. One comment was that
it looked dried out (ASR33 paper tape is lightly oiled to lube the punch.)
$17? Sheesh.
