Does anyone know where to find a punched card reader these days? I'm looking for a small desktop unit that I could interface to a PC.

I'm looking for a small desktop unit that I could interface to a PC. I know DEC sold a model CR11, and there were others out there. I remember using some neat little card readers that were stationed here and there on campus at UC Berkeley in the 70's for remote job entry to the CDC-6400 (and if I remember correctly they had a DG Nova underneath). Are there any of these out there, that I could take, borrow, or buy? I'll be starting an IBM 1130 software archiving project later this summer. (I did a google search and about all I found were requests just like this one, from the classiccmp archives. Hmm. And there's one place that'll rent you a desktop reader for $1500/month).
