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#
