[GreenKeys] Fwd: Re: IBM Keypunch

[Bruce Gentry]

You could get a great deal of interest from owners of older Allen 
electronic organs that used punch cards to load programmable voices into 
the tone generators. The cards have not been available for some time, 
making copies for organ owners would be a very welcome use for card 
punches.
