Bill,
I remember they had a card sorter at the local car show and if I
recall correctly the cards did have a fortune type cookie saying on
them. My memory is iffy here about the year. I would guess 1960.

It wasn't always blinking lights that the public and Hollywood

of them focused (pun not intended) on spinning reel-to-reel tape
drives.
And card sorters.
