More progress continues to be made! Thanks to John W9DDD and Nick K4NYW I have solved the electrical/motor issue and things progressing.
I have now connected the reperf into my loop and sent a tape through to test if the selector magnets and code bars(?) are functioning. It seems part of the character setup mechanism is working, but that set up doesn’t seem to be making
it to the punches. Here is a short video of what is happening.
any suggestions where to look are very much appreciated. This thing is reaaaallly complex!
Thanks all!
