Good luck. In my experience they are considerably rarer than the machines.
About 20 years ago, Facit could still supply the chad box (and other
spares for the 4070). But the price then was about \pounds 30.00. I have
no idea if it's still available, but if so, it'll not be cheap.
I would sgugest getting some plastic sheet and a solvent-toye adhesive
and making one..
I have this same issue for the GNT 3601 punch that I recently obtained.
There must have been some people out there that had a fetish for chad
boxes :-)
I intend to make a prototype using Origami techniques-- ie, cut and
fold some manila folder cardboard to get the dimensions just right--
and then when I get a round tuit, I'll perhaps make a plastic one.
A cardboard one will be way better than vacuuming up the chad from the
shop floor as I am doing now though.
