Hi,
I have an broken DEC PC05 puncher unit here.
It seems the shaft which transfers motor power to the excenter mechanism
is broken in the inside.
So i need to dissassemble the whole unit, but have no idea where to start.
I've read somewhere the mechanical puncher unit is not made by DEC but
by some other company.
Is there any known documentation about the DEC PC05 puncher ?
Thanks,
J?rg

There are several manuals at bitsavers. Why didn't you even bother
checking before posting?

Yes, I did check. The first manual in that list do cover it in some detail.

Tony,
thanks for the link to Roytron! That's a lot of good stuff there.

The OP is right, the punch mechanism is not DEC. I believe it was Roytron. There are
some Roytron manuals on bitsavers, the punch shown there looks like the
mechanism in my PC04/05 but I can't be sure, there may be subtle differences. But
those might be worth a look.

Johnny,
of course I know the bitsavers manuals ... I'm living with them since
months. I'm not searching docs about the whole PC05, but about the
mechanical puncher unit inside. The only info about the puncher are 3
pages in DEC-00-PC0A-D_PC04_Manual.pdf with adjustments instructions,
extracted by DEC from some original documentation.
I'm searching for an explosive view and disassembly instructions.
The manufacturer of the puncher unit seems to be "Royal Typewriter",
still in existence. But I found no doc about their paper tape puncher.

The manual actually states, as the first sentence of those three pages:
"This section contains adjustment procedures for the punch mechanism.
Additional information can be obtained from the _Roytron Maintenance
Manual_, which is supplied with each unit."
So, now you even know what company to look for. :-)
