Mystery Electric Tape Dispenser Teardown!

This is a Marsh 4-BT Gummed Tape Dispenser, probably from the late 1970s or early 1980s. Someone gave this to my brother a long time ago. He put it in the trunk of his car to give to me and forgot about it, until he threw away the car recently... I believe it was used in a warehouse or other place for packing cardboard boxes. As the tape shoots out the front, it is heated to make it sticky, then the scissor-like cutter chops it at the requested length. This model does not seem to work, either due to a bad motor, run capacitor, or some other reason.

Why not repair and restore it? It looks cool.

It does, but I am running out of space in my house... If you want it, you are welcome to have it for free! I have a suspicion it might need a new capacitor, and it is also missing the water tank...

@@ACBMemphis Tempting. I'll think about it. Maybe something for my channel. Let me look into how tough it will be to get parts and I'll get back with you. Thanks!
