Dan Foust <dfoust_jtc at ameritech.net> still has 11 BRPE punches in various states of repair or disrepair that he's disposing of in Jackson Michigan. It's just a shipping palate jumbled with punches, Teletype-brand tape reels, and two mystery boxes that, by peering at the quality control labels seem to be made by COMPUSCAN INC. My best guess based on looking at the circuit board is that these are punch drivers containing the power supply and data converters to drive the BRPE punches from low-level parallel data connectors of some kind.
The miscellaneous tape reels, motors, timing belts, and whatnot may be of value even if you don't need a complete BRPE punch. I'd hate to see all this go to a landfill.
