Fwd: Re: Possible equipment for NADCOMM (IBM 029 punch) - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

3 May 1999

Okay, here's a msg for you folks who want an IBM 029 card punch.  It's
available in Indianapolis. 

Please contact Joe Montano &lt;jmontano(a)iquest.net&gt; to obtain it. Act on it
ASAP as his boss may get rid of it soon.

And no, I didn't simply forward the msg to the list without first recalling
exactly what the machine in question was (in ref. to that DECMATE
embarassment to me a few days ago . . . :-\  )  I've USED this type machine
so know there *may* be belts inside of it ;) 

I have asked Joe, thru NADCOMM, to give a bit more info. He sent a little
trying to compare it to a Teletype model 28 which only a few of us on
ClassicCmp know. NADCOMM is the North American Data Communications Museum
located in Fallbrook, CA.

I asked Joe about size and weight.  He is going to get back to me.
Any comments regarding this equipment?

Thanks,
Don

Chris,

Would you help us find a home for this card punch.  None of us want this
item going to the dumpster.

Thanks,

Don
