Sure yo got the card reader number right? I have a
7261A that I adore :)
Optical Mark Reader - it does two different column counts, but I don't
think it did punch cards - I could be wrong.
Yes. Mine is a 2761A:

Look like it takes a smaller stack than the 7261A.
From the specs I quote:
"Cards may be coded by marking preprinted boxes with an ordinary
soft-lead pencil, keypunching or any combination of marking and
punching." :)
I also have one case of the
cards that go with it. They are prescreened on the card for TSB program
entry. However, I am loathe to give up many of the cards as I only have
the one case. How many do you need?
Just 5 or so to have around. Though if you are planning to order more, I
might be in for that.
I do need to fix the disolved rubber wheel (02760-4003?) on my card
reader before it'll run again. :)
