[GreenKeys] anyone know the details of this unit?

ok more internal pictures. Looks like 7 punches. Does this mean it is a 6-bit (6 data holes, 1 index)?

excellent find on that. So I think I'll ask the seller to open the front and try to send a picture, well lit, similar to this picture. And hopefully we can see what this is...

It seems to me that is the best angle to see the punch block.

DEC used the BRPE punch on it's Typeset-8 system. They had that knob on the top. See:

See pix.  It says "BRPE8 6" from what I can tell.  Also, by the connector it appears to be a parallel unit?
8 level I would assume, but might it be 6 level with the "6" in the model number?
Is it easy for a non-technical seller to remove the cover from the punch block to know more? Does it lift off easily? does it require screw removal?
thx
