Dick I  would need a closer  photo...one thing that   the 2b dies not like 
is 3/8  tape  WU used narrower a bit than  3/8!

One other thing  look inside and out  to see if  
there is western union  tags or?  not.

I see you also  have one of the Morse  tape perforators ad 
there too!  Neat!

Yeah, we have a good collection of  "Kleins", as they were invariably 
called, and also the Boehme keying heads  that read the Wheatstone two level 
tapes they produce.  We actually use  these on the air at KPH.

As to the alleged 2B, it's long gone so we  can't examine the unit itself.  
What I can do is check back to the large  photo print we scanned for the 
Web site photo and look for more clues.   But I'm advised from those who know 
that it's impossible or nearly so to  confirm the unit as a 2B from external 
clues (except maybe for tape  width).  If that's not true please let me 
know what I should look for in  the photo.

Dick One of the other   readers here at greenkeys has  the  reader but  not 
a puncher and needs sample   tape   to   demo it  with... His name is 
Lester and  email is m0ycm at veenstras.com - I have cc'ed  him  on this message too.
 
Dick, We have a puncher at SMECC but  it needs to  be gotten to  and   new 
cords and  clean lubed adj... so was not able to supply  something quickly 
perhaps  you  could   from there?
 
We would  also like to  find a Boehme keying head    to  pair up   with our 
 puncher!  Being able to show  the two of them and how they worked  is neat!

OK 2B or not 2B... that is the question... <grin!>   Yes there are  some 
keyboard  differences if  we  can get a closer external photo and happy to 
help  ID  it..
 
Thanks  Ed#
