Does anybody actually *have* a functional 7 track drive?

The folks restoring at least one IBM 1401 probably have several. http://ibm-1401.info/ Other than replacing a lot of older tab shop hardware, a primary function for may 1401s was to do card reading and printing for jobs submitted on 7 track tape to 7094s.
