I can mention two people -- no, three -- who aren't doing that, but
who did and who might.

Steve Cox of Laguna Rolls in Pagham (Sussex, UK) built a 58/65-note
perforator in the late 1970s which read rolls pneumatically with
remarkable accuracy.  It had automatic compensation for the tracker-bar
error so you got one punch for one-punch holes.  Steve was eventually
able to mould the drive-pin spool-end entirely in plastic -- quite an
achievement.

Steve actually sold a lot more 58-note rolls than 65-note rolls, and
after about seven years he had flooded what market there was.  He got
involved in recutting 88-note rolls with another perforator, and an
organ nut called Church offered to buy the 58/65-note  perforator.
Steve sold it for =L=1500 ($2450), plus something for the spool-end
dies and injection moulding pump.

Nothing was heard for another 12 years until Kevin McElhone asked him
where the machine had gone.  Steve told him, adding that Church would
never sell, despite his wife resenting it filling up their front hall.
McElhone went up to =L=3000 and found this was true, but eventually
persuaded Church to loan him the machine instead.

Fearful that Church would change his mind, McElhone then obtained large
stocks of paper and began making organ rolls day and night.  These
began appearing in the collections of organ nuts generally and sure
enough Church suffered an attack of jealousy and demanded the machine
back.  Nothing has happened since.

Question: why didn't Kevin offer _Mrs_ Church the =L=3000 ?  No sense
of the possible !
