Here's are a trio of quick questions for people who use(d) the original DECtape machines:
What is the function of the center rocker switch and numeral indicator?
Is the numeral (in the photo "2") set by the user or is it used by the system to indicate something?
What do the arrows indicate? Maybe tape movement direction?
