How do I append a ^M to the end of each 129 character string

Hello all,
I have a stumper of a problem. I am trying to append a ^M or "newline" to the end of each 129 character string in a huge file in unix.

Each string starts with A00.

I am trying to get the file to go from...
A00vswjdv1 Test Junk Junk A00vswjdv2 Test Junk Junk A00vswjdv3 Test Junk Junk

to look like....
A00vswjdv1 Test Junk Junk
A00vswjdv2 Test Junk Junk
A00vswjdv3 Test Junk Junk

Any help is greatly appreciated.

BTW. I am on a AIX box.
