I contacted the seller - and told him his shipping price was likely
wrong. He thanked me and updated the price to something more
appropriate - like $150 here to the West Coast.

So it seems that they all do use the same key; some test units I sent to one
person worked fine in their machine too.
I have just sent email to everyone who responded about wanting keys; if you
wanted keys, and did _not_ get that email from me, please email me now so I
can add you to the list. Or, if you didn't reply before, and have decided you
do in fact want some - they will be about $1.50 per key, plus postage - let
me know. (Although I will likely be able to get these keys made for the
indefinite future, so it's not 'now or never'.)

Great work and cute card punch! Some similarly gifted folks at CHM are just
rebuilding an IBM 01 right now, and it's equally cute and minimalist and
bullet proof. They tell me it's how you'd re-punch a bad card in a hurry in
the middle of a jammed job.
I can't resist a shameless plug at my own 029 restoration. Machine discovery
and hauling back from Kansas to California courtesy of Carl Claunch, who has
been busy since getting the IBM 1130 (and own 029) he brought back into
action. But this extra 029 gave me a satisfying, if modest, first
electro-mechanical restoration project, from nothing working at all to full
up.

A couple years ago announced here that I had 40 8-inch floppy mailers.
Four people wanted them, but I cannot get in touch with them any more.
So, here it is again: 40 8-inch floppy mailers for shipping.

A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
Received the following from my web site:
"...I have a 1970s Burroughs B 80 which was one of the first office based
with stand alone multi disc cabinet & printer, any interest ..."
Contacted the guy, he said he was from Oxfordshire/Berkshire border in
England (I presume). He is looking to sell for at least scrap value.
Contact me if you're interested and I will forward your info to the guy,
his name is Brian..
NOTE: I helped rescue a similar unit from a Jewelry store a few years ago,
they're heavy suckers.

Folks,
I have a working Tektronix 1240 logic analyzer. It has 3
acquisition
cards, one 1240D1 (100 MHz, 9 channel) and two 1240D2 (50 MHz,
18 channel), plus some ram packs and a Z-80 disasm.
I also have a full set of probe pods and spring clip lead sets
for it.
I do want to get a little money for it, maybe $100 plus
shipping.
Anybody interested?
(I have a much fancier analyzer here, so this has been
sitting for
some years. The only downsides to it are no net
connectivity and
the display format can be a bit slow when zoomed out. Also,
the memory depth is pretty small. I forget, but maybe it is
512 samples or something like that.
my email is elson (at) pico (hyphen) systems (period) com

Folks,
Some time ago I bought an IBM Model-11 electro-mechanical punch on E-Bay. It
was in a bit of a mess as someone had partially dismantled it and not
re-assembled it properly. It was also missing a couple of the operating
buttons. I have had some replacement parts made, and re-assembled it
properly. It now works reasonably well. I have made a short video of it
operating here:-
