The 650 belonged to a museum in Vienna. I think it was sent back. I hope it survived the journey in working order. Their keypunches worked. I punched a few one-card 1401 programs to clear up some confusion/imprecision in the manuals to correct/confirm the SimH 1401 simulator. I visited John Zabolitsky's collection at Neubiberg, a southeastern suburb of Munich: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPGeVphL95gtsGIO96iU4APdtSRnHhcm1y4-Ya… They sell time on their VAX. I think some of the other machines work, too, but the VAX was the only one running when I visited.
