 I don't care about the interface - I'll build my own.
 How about some Reader/Punches 8-) 
Do Model 33 ASR's ever show up at hamfests anymore?  Back when I was in
high school, these were the de facto solution for reading and/or

No, nobody wants to drag anything that heavy. What might work is if you
pin a sign to your back saying that you actually want one of the things -
people may offer many of them to you just for hauling.

        I beg to differ. I saw one, in excellent condition, show up at a hamfest
near the Oregon/Washington border (Longview) not that long ago. I think it
was a freebie.
        The only reason I didn't take it is because I used to work on the things
and I know, full-well, what kind of a pain they can be.
