Let me know if and when; I'll give you a tour of the collection at the
farm. I'm about 15-20 minutes drive from Port Columbus (CMH) where I
do my training (it's been educational learning in Class C space as compared
to the other nearby options - Class D at OSU/Don Scott, or at smaller,
uncontrolled airports).
So far, Hans Franke has been by to visit, but he was in enough hurry to
get back to Pittsburgh for his flight that he hasn't seen the inside of
the quonset hut yet. For the moment, stuff there is in storage mode.
The items in the house in the former den are all slated for cleaning, test
and repair.
My next restoration goals: ongoing work on the PDP-8/e (as soon as I
can find my overhead memory connectors), its TD8E + TU56, and an RK05J
on some flavor of LSI-11 (since I have a last-known-to-be-working RKV11D
and an RK11-C in dubious shape and no RK8E). Further down the pipe are
the external 8K memory box for the working -8/L, and a complete teardown
and cleaning of my PDP-8/i, the second -8 that I found back in High School.
