I have a later model BRPE6 with a 146677 6-level punch block (with offset feed hole).
I am looking for a 170751 5-level punch block to replace it.
I also have an early model BRPE3 with a 124336 5-level block
Q: is this compatible with the later BRPE6?
A: No. I removed and examined the two. |

| I will know more about this when I disassemble
a 6-level BRPE punch and see what is useful for a 5-level refit. The punch pins
and associated solenoids and actuating levers should all be fine - The
early style BRPE3 punch block dimensions are definitely different from the
new style. |
BRPE16 (new style) 6-level punch block (with advanced feed hole) - I need a 5-level with
in-line feed hole. Feed hole should be at the same distance front-back as this one.
