Had it not been for the tape, this would otherwise be a Z1 chip!
TCR#: N6480
So? Why the tape?...
Well, as I understand the story, this chip was acquired near new by a recovering alcoholic who used the tape (white medical tape) to record a year of sobriety. This was done several times for other chips.
The goo can be removed, but afterwards, one can still tell that something left a band through the face (and reverse) of this little gem.
Just the same, I'm certainly glad to have it in my collection. It is considered an R-10 in the C/W Guide.
I have a few other nice additions from the Show, including renewing some friendships!
Thanks for looking! Jim
