Perkin-Elmer Terminal & RM-200 Punched Card Reader in Action!

A followup to a video from 2016 when I first acquired this Documation card reader. It's now doing "functional" work. An Arduino interface captures the data and converts it to ASCII in real-time. The first segment is with the reader intentionally hamstrung at 9600 Baud, which is the high limit of the PE terminal. Afterward, it's running at "top speed", dictated by the quality of the cards, which influences "pick" speed.
Restoration of the PE terminal can be found here: linearlook.com/PE.html
