Whoops, Ed says the chadless tape will work on 32's, but I thot I heard a while back that they wouldn't.  You can always try, but if it doesn't work, don't be surprised.

I'm new to the field; _very_ new.  I've been following matters here for a number of months, in large part because I found myself in the possession of a restorable Model 14 Receiving-only (Low Base) Typing Reperforator.  Outside is a little beat up, but the insides have been kept well lubricated and mostly seems to be suffering from a moderate amount of congealed grease.  The internal sound-deadening foam is actually intact (which surprises me, but maybe not you all). 

The " Aetheric Message Machine Company" has a bounty of Model 14 manuals online (thank you!) from which I was able to identify my possession, and learn about chadless perforating ... and why one would want to do such a thing :->! 

I also received an ASR-32 which was stated to be working "last year", and although 5-level code is not what I grew up with (I'm an ASR-33 baby I guess ...), it seems to me that the ASR-32 ought to be able to read the M14-produced tape, because of its pin-based reader.  Do I have that correct? 

And one other question:  The left edge of the base has a cutout, behind which is a pre-wired cable harness that has been neatly taped and tied off.  My best guess is that a transmitter-distributer might have attached there, but I can't find any reference to such a configuration.  Does anyone know what purpose was served there? 

Any warnings that you'd care to toss-my-way will be heeded :->. 

Good health, 

paul
