There are also a lot of different wiring options for
the machine.....
That's what has always baffled me. There's a magnet driver, for the
printing mechanism. There's an open/close switch, for the keyboard.
There are analogous things for the punch too.
But... there are literally hundreds of contacts spread out between
a dozen or so Molex connectors inside the machine. I realize that
these handle every option under the sun, and probably a couple other
suns that I've never seen too. But turning such a simple electomecahical
machine into such a maze of plugs must've taken a couple of committees.
