I acquired a PDP-8/L not too long ago, and in discussion with the
original owner he advised I have a fire extinguisher on hand when I power
it up.
That concerns me, as I'd rather not burn up a PDP-8/L (or the house).
What can I do to ensure the -8/L wont catch fire (or do anything else
equally bad) when I turn it on? I don't have a very good knowledge of
electronics, but I can certainly open it up and examine boards.
