I just finished putting this one back together. I can now punch holes and feed tape through the reader and punch (using the front panel controls) so I think it's all working now. But I'm not sure what most of the controls are supposed to do. Is there anyone familar with these that can help?

I don't know it everything is working properly but it at least makes noises now when I press various buttons. (An operator's manual would be handy about now!) It would interesting to have one with HP-IB interface! I'm thinking about putting this on the HP 1000 that I just got so HP-IB interface would be perfect. I've never even heard of a reader/punch with a HP-IB interface.
