Thanks, one and all, for the pointers to working keypunches.
Ultimately, the closest one was in Chattanooga and I now have
everything I need to fabricate the award.
I also used the kloth.com app because I realized that if I punched the
cards without the printed interpretation, it wouldn't be obvious if I
had made a mistake. So I "punched" them on the app and printed them
out to use for verification.
I am very grateful for all of you folks who keep such technological
relics in working condition, and for all of the museums that make them
available to the public. I plan to visit the CMA the next time I'm in
the Atlanta area.

Don’t know the condition of the ribbons. Contact Lonnie Simms via
[email protected]. Tell him his CA IBM benefactor sent you. I
hope you have black cards. If not, let me know.
Otherwise you could try http://www.kloth.net/services/cardpunch.php and print
the JPEG on heavy stock.

I was referred to this group by [email protected] who thought you
might be able to help me.
I need to punch a half-dozen datacards for an award for a retired
IBMer. Anyone know where I can find a working 026/029/129 within 300
miles of Raleigh, NC?
Many thanks for any pointers.
