Was updating my punch card database/site, www.ibmjunkman.com, and found
something I don’t remember.
The 026/029/129 keypunch units printed above row 12 using a dot matrix style
character. I still marvel at the plate and the whole mechanism that did the
printing. The 557 Interpreter could print
Not sure what created that card.
Card 152 appears to be a 557 interpreted card using data from another card.
Card 5507 has dot matrix printing on lower rows.
Neither card came from a pin feed form that could be printed on a line printer.
Card 157 is from 1949. Don’t think the 1404 existed then. 😊
Was not aware of the 1404 before. Thanks.
Saw a pair of Selectric typewriters went for $8k. Available on eBay for
200-400.
When I left CA for NV in 2019 I sold the bulk of my IBM related stuff to the
CMoA. It was a heavy Apple place at the time. My stuff moved Lonnie into the
IBM world. The stuff filled the floor of a 26 ft truck. He paid for shipping. I
then put together a half pallet of stragglers that he arrange
If anyone is curious as to what the CMoA got from me.

I have asked why his listing is identical to the other one. :-)
The Computer Museum of America in Roswell GA (400 miles) has 2 working 029s.
Don’t know the condition of the ribbons. Contact Lonnie Simms via
i...@computermuseumofamerica.org. Tell him his CA IBM benefactor sent you. I
hope you have black cards. If not, let me know.
Otherwise you could try
Has anyone seen this? It looks like an 18-bit machine.

Sorry, I know nothing about the panel on the left.

I am clearing out a storage space and will be offering up some of the old
systems and miscellaneous peripherals currently stored there as I clear and
sort things. To start with I have the following available. If anyone is
interested or knows where else to offer the various items contact me off
The seller thinks this may be a drum memory, but it is clearly not. My
guess is that it is some kind of clock generator. Anyone recognize
this?
