the punch is used in DEC reader/punches but the info in them isn't

If this is the punch in the PC05 reader/punch, then I think I have the
Royotron maintenance manual for it. I had to completely disassemble the
punch in our PC05, remove all signs of rust and dirt, remove each single
punch needle and clean it, remove each single punch magnet and
resolder/glue the wires to the coils (they all fell off due to corrosion)
and so on. The punch's working great now...
