I have here three IBM 029 card punches, two model
A and one model C (with
interpreter) including documentation. So far so good. I do have an
additional 029 (I *think*) without covers which I would like to restore.
The problem is that it is "a bit" different from the other three punches
and I would like to know what model this is and if anyone has the
maintenance manual for it.
The mechanical part is almost the same as in the A and C models, but the
keyboard has two lights, one at each side. I know that the light on the
left side is an indicator for the verifier, but the one on the right side
is unknown to me.
Maybe it is a Type 129, rather than 029? I haven't seen a 129 up close
in many years, so I couldn't tell you the differences in detail, but
it does have more SMS cards, etc.
