AFAIK, the IBM museum in Sindelfingen, Germany, has
one, and it
is up and running (together with their 650, 1401, etc.). If you need contacts
there, I could give them; no Internet, though !!

That number "650" brings back a lot of memories. It was 40 years
ago when I first used one. There was only card input and card
output, if I remember correctly. The assembler was called SOAP
and I think there was a FORTRAN of sorts at the very end.
I doubt if I have the old "TOPSY" loader and sort of OS around
in 80 column punched cards.
I would appreciate the contacts. I might even be able to provide
some old memories.
Sincerely yours,
