It appears that it can only punch 6 (or 5?) level tape the way it is 
configured.  The manual isn't very clear on it, specifying repeatedly that it 
can punch 5 to 8 level tape.  But the one I got only has 6 holes as in the 
picture.  In the back of the manual the parts list specifies different "guide 
and die blocks."  I haven't hooked mine up yet -- I need a 5 amp, 27 V supply.  
But it appears it has everything except the die block to work with 8 level.  I 
doubt the local electronic supply house will have that die block, so I might 
modify that one if possible.

Hi Will,

Is the punch you received capable of punching 8-level tape?  While the PDF on 
Surplus Sales of Nebraska's site says the unit can punch 5- to 8-level tape, 
one of the photos on the site, 
https://www.surplussales.com/Images/Equipment/Military/eqp-p135-20-35_2_lg.jpg, 
makes it look like it can only punch up to 6-level tape.

A month or two ago, someone mentioned this paper tape punch available from 
Surplus Sales of Nebraska.

https://www.surplussales.com//Equipment/mil.html

I think someone had a similar model and was looking for information.

I ordered one on Tuesday or Wednesday and got it today.  It came with  the 
complete operation and maintenance manual as opposed to the three or so scanned 
pages they have on the website.

I will be scanning that manual and making it available as soon as possible.  In 
the mean time, if anyone has questions that the manual may have answers to, let 
me know.

Will
