Wipe up after.
So I'd love to someday get my hands on a 402, 407,
etc. I'm also now more
interested than ever in getting more unit record equipment. I've got a
557 interpreter and an 026 punch. It'd be nice to have a sorter (082) but
what I'd really like is some sort of accounting machine or even a
calculator (fat chance of that).
Ed Grothus has a bunch of grey boxen. They're in the good
building, and quite intact seeming. I could inquire for you if
you're serious. Assume it'll take a year to talk him out of it
(unless he says "take it"). You have a big truck and are willing
to drive 1500 miles on a moment's notice, of course. They are LASL
so are as likely customized as not.
Worst case, I'll build some punch card equipment
from scratch. That would
be even more fun.
Ugh you crazy!
