The seller has put about 4 of these up already.
I bought one, the belts and rubber rollers are in good shape
in the one that I got, although it's having some trouble
picking cards. A second one is on its way for someone else.

How does one of these interface?
I'd like a card reader, how much work would it be to hook it to something?
Can anyone provide a basic overview of the common documation
and cardmation models?

Not readily or easily.

You need a 16-bit parallel input into whatever machine you want to connect
it to. You'll need to be able to latch certain inputs to catch very brief
signals (some as short as 6us). You'll then need to convert from punch
card coding to ASCII.
If you want much more specific information, let me know.
