I would suppose it makes sense to simply insert a fresh tray of blades. That may explain why some razors are missing such an important part that is stored inside the handle. When the previous owner ran out of blades and new that the next pack of blades came with a new tray they may have tossed the old empty tray then never got around to getting more blades. Especially if they simply saw the new fangled Schick type D or whatever the new lighter weight model was at the time. Now we know that the NOS tubes of blades come with a tray. Pretty cool. So if anyone has a missing tray and really want one they just need to find an NOS tube of blades for a price they are willing to pay. I believe the trays would be identical between all the repeaters.Something else interesting to note. The seller says it appears there is a dummy blade near the end of the stack perhaps to alert the person that he is near the end of the new blades. Will confirm when it arrives.
I think I remember hearing something about that. Like a time to pick up more blades kind of reminder. Interesting also that in the picture with the package of replacement blades it says not for use in injectors razors. I wonder how long they sold tubes of refills for the repeating razors after coming out twith the injector razors.
