Facit 4070 paper tape punch

A while ago, I obtained one of these, and have successfully hooked it up to the printer port on (one of) my Linux boxen.  It works quite well, and I didn't need to change any software to get it functional.  The adapter is housed in a small DB-25 to DB-25 patch box goodie (with the help of a 7400 gate).  No problems here (if you desire details, please contact me off list).

My problem is that I don't have a proper chad box for this nice punch.  It is a clear plastic box that clips over the front of the punch and holds the chad.  My temporary solution is to have a plastic bag with some cable ties to the "exit port".  While this "works" it isn't ideal.

So, I'm looking for a chad box for one of these.  Any leads would be helpful.

Thanks.
