Just curious if Tim’s manual punch would be able to use blank tape, or can only be used to edit tape that was already punched on a machine.

Normally the punch creates the sprocket holes - my little hand punch has a way to add them but, of course that is to patch tapes not really create several feed of mechanically powered tape with accurate spaced holes as it relies on having some punched tape - it would be hand pulled in my use so not so vital but, good point the few feet from Tony would benefit from having them added.
