2234.0. "Card Punch?" by BOXTOP::BEYERSDORFER () Mon Jan 15 1990 08:57

    This is really a commusic related question!
    
    Does anyone know where I can pick up an IBM card punch?

2234.1I know where there *was* one. Maybe still...DCSVAX::COTEMy kingdom for a pizza...Mon Jan 15 1990 09:096
    The bank I used to work at had one sitting in a stockroom. I was there
    10 years and never saw it used.
    
    I'm still in touch with many of the folks there. Maybe....

    Hey, are you related to the folks that make
    those expensive Pianos?
    
    (Midwest Systems carries used DEC equipment.)

    Gahd, I dunno. I left there 5 years ago. (5 years ago today!)
    
    I believe it punched out Hollerith Cards...

2234.5Keypunch needs restatedPHENIX::BEYERSDORFERThu Jan 25 1990 07:005
    Thanks for all the responses.  No luck yet.  To clarify, I need a small
    keypunch - something I can punch 80 column IBM cards with - preferably
    small, not fancy, all manual for low volume - use is to punch data for
    waveforms for input to an Allen Digital Computer Organ (sounds great
    thru a Quadraverb!) - thanks again.

    Then what you want is (I think) an IBM model 14 punch.  It is about the
    size of a credit card machine, sits on your desktop, and can only punch
    numbers, one card at a time. (Unless your are real good at the
    Hollereith code.)  I doubt if they are made any more, but you might
    find one used.  The last time I saw one was about 20 years ago...
