Help! Facit 4042 PT Reader/Punch

I shall try to ask about it to the previous owner of the machine. I think that I have the old messages that I've interchanged with him yet, included the photos of how to dismount and mount the Paper Tape Reader/Puncher. Depending of the answers, we could even consider a module interchange ;-) One HP-IB for one RS-232 board (but I don't think it would be so easy).

I don't know it everything is working properly but it at least makes noises now when I press various buttons. (An operator's manual would be handy about now!) It would interesting to have one with HP-IB interface! I'm thinking about putting this on the HP 1000 that I just got so HP-IB interface would be perfect. I've never even heard of a reader/punch with a HP-IB interface. prices for their's but I did find this <http://members.tripod.com/facit_facit/>. appears dead. service
