Paper tape punch interfacing?

I have a Tally 420PR paper tape punch mechanism with no electronics, and would like to build a driver board for it. I have a DEC PC8E (M840) interface card for my 8/A project which would be the logical starting point. I was able to find a schematic of the punch online but no other manual or information. The solenoids run on -48VDC but I have no data as to pulse widths and duration, or even the speed of the mechanism (30cps?) There are solenoids for each of eight (data) punch pins, a sprocket-hole punch, tape feeder (which also operates a contact to actuate the forward ratchet mechanism), and reverse ratchet (for rubout I assume). Any ideas? I am not sure how much of the timing is generated by the M840 card and how much by the M710 inside the PC04 assembly. Also, the connector is a Continental 25034-16P. Does anyone have a mating female connector? thanks Charles
