Well that makes the 10 punches I have now trash I guess? Since they can run

If someone offered me an 026 keypunch, I
don't know that I'd be eager to
take it in, even though it probably has the same place in my mind that a
terminal does in yours. What would I do with it? The hardware that used
cards for I/O is long gone. It's sort of like having a victrola with no
records to play.
Do me a favor. If you get offered an 026 keypunch, let me have it. 8-)
I still have hardware that can use cards.
