I've been in Karlsruhe two times yet. It is a real Z22 (not one of the
newer Z22R), i.e. it has (had) the old style drum memory which often
caused problems with signal amplitudes and head adjustments. The new
style is sealed and has magnetic bearings. BTW the machine has the serial
number 13. And of course it is still running perfectly.
And please don't forget our LGP-30 here. It is still the only existing
LGP-30 on earth in fully working condition (until proved otherwise) incl.
high-speed reader/punch and software. I had posted a link to our papertape
software collection some time ago.
