  Are there any IBM 1130 aficionados out there? Anyone
who has one (besides
 bruce(a)bigoakhill.com, whose 1130 I'll be inheriting)? Anyone with software
 archives perhaps? Emulators, or interest in developing one? Oh -- and where
 this day and age does one go to find an 029 keypunch? These aren't
 showing up on ebay in any great quantity, for some reason.

Paul Pierce has an IBM 1130. He is planning on using it in his Museum project 
when he retires. Here is a link to his computer collection.

It came from Clatsop Community College and he outbid me when it was put up 
for bid in 1979? IIRC.

I have a scrap friend who has about 4 or 5 punch card units in Portland, 
Oregon. I believe he has a couple that are complete. I don't think any are 
029s, I think at least one is a 129 and three others may be from compatible 
manufactures. I can find more information out if you are interested. They 
would have to be shipped freight but he is equipped to do that. 

Please contact me off list at Whoagiii(a)aol.com if you are interested. This 
time of the year is rather busy and I don't read all of the list and may miss 
a reply.
