Okay, here's a msg for you folks who want an IBM 029 card punch. It's
available in Indianapolis.
Please contact Joe Montano <jmontano_at_iquest.net> to obtain it. Act on it
ASAP as his boss may get rid of it soon.
And no, I didn't simply forward the msg to the list without first recalling
exactly what the machine in question was (in ref. to that DECMATE
embarassment to me a few days ago . . . :-\ ) I've USED this type machine
so know there *may* be belts inside of it ;)
I have asked Joe, thru NADCOMM, to give a bit more info. He sent a little
trying to compare it to a Teletype model 28 which only a few of us on
ClassicCmp know. NADCOMM is the North American Data Communications Museum
located in Fallbrook, CA.

>>Don,

>>This unit is definitely NOT as heavy as a 28 as I had no problem lifting up
>>the HEAVY end. I would est. the weight as closer to 100 lbs. and maybe a
>>little more but not much more.
>>
>>It is about the size of a small child's desk with it being deeper than a 28
>>but not quite as long.
>>
>>I feel that it most definitely should go to some sort of museum or
>>collection but I do not have any connections and I figured that you would,
>>and I was right.
>>
>>Yes, the unit is still in the Indy area and I have told the boss that there
>>is someone interested in it for their museum/collection so he is holding on
>>to it for a little while longer but I can't guarantee(sp?) how long his good
>>nature will hold out.

>>
>>If you could please fwd. this on to whoever you think might be interested in
>>it, we would all be grateful.
