Does the gripper carry an Oyster reader when

Not when I used it last weekend. I just waved my oyster wallet at him and
he seemed happy with that.
I did this twice.
(The HC grippers usually ask to physically see the card, but they don't
have readers either)

They used to, though why they stopped I do not know.

I generally have a go at them if they insist on seeing the card, as
it's pointless. IME, they very rarely ask, though maybe it's because
of the time of day I travel.

That's a new one on me. The last time it was on, it was strictly 1-6
Day or Period Travelcards only.

How are they doing PAYG? Have they installed readers on HEx?

Thanks, that's reassuring as a backup plan - now we've booked tickets to
Victoria and left plenty of time we might as well catch the coach to
Heathrow, but it's handy to know if it goes pear-shaped. Since there's a
bit of confusion, if Oyster is permitted but they're not accepting Z1-6
tickets, is it possible to buy a day Travelcard on Oyster?

No, but there's no need. Just buy a paper one.
