Anybody looking for an IBM 029 keypunch? In the (presumably unlikely)
event that anyone wants to come to Boulder, Colorado and get it, please
let me know. (Soon, because it's going to be recycled.)

It's been rained on, but it seems to be otherwise intact.

I can find a home for the drum in the more likely event that no one
wants the rest of the keypunch.

Printing or non-printing?
Wire-contact or reed relays?
left-zero fill feature?
Aux. dup? (that would give you *two* drums)

I live near Boulder (Gunbarrel). I certainly don't have room for
the whole machine, but might want to salvage a few "classic"
parts as souveniers. I was a CE in Washington, DC, and repaired
many an 029 back in the '60s, mostly at the FBI.

I still even have some repair tools and parts.

Starwheel adjustment tool
spare punch clutch spring
spare punch unit belt
vial of wire contacts
"Gram gauge" to measure escapement tension (it's around here
somewhere)

Sadly, no starwheels (I'll bet you're missing some)

Is this at the IBM plant, or in your home?
