Want IBM 400-series account machine

[Keys]

Yes I know the feeling.  I could not believe it when I first saw the IBM 548 
Alphabetical Interpreter sitting in the corner of this guy's garage.  It was 
a work of art and came with manuals and stack of punch cards.  I also have a 
029 that needs some TLC given to it.
