Paper Tape Reader

[Göran Axelsson]

I have a COMEX 2010 paper tape reader that's for sale. It was mounted in 
a PDP8/e so I guess it could be used to read DEC tapes.
I don't know if it is working and I have no way to test it.
Postage is a bit high though, $100 for outside of Europe (40 euro within).

It looks like it communicates via a standard serial port, there is a 
1488 and a 1489 chip on the board. The transformer is a 220V but it 
looks like there is a center tap at the primary so it can be strapped 
for 110V too.
No magic smoke when I connected it to power and the fuses are okay. No 
other life signs though and my multimeter is hidden somewhere I can't 
find it.
Tape move mechanism feels good and turns easily.

Price : postage + any reasonable bid. If I get a bid then I will 
consider it sold unless I get a new bid within a day.
A reasonable bid is anything from $10 and up, ten dollars will buy me a 
burger meal when I post the package.  :-)

But you will probably find something cheaper and closer.
