Hard to believe, but the old IBM 029 is fully restored and back in action! This demo shows manual punching, program-controlled punching, fast duplication, and interpreting, which are the main features of the 029. Everything works - almost. It still did miss an A in the interpret run in this video, and occasionally misfeeds a card, which I'll fix later. But it is completely usable now.
