I can't offer any authoritative advice but I'll be listening for inspirational tales. I've got two Model 360 base units and a few terminals in various states of not working. I did once manage to get two of the terminals to do some addition when attached to the base unit. Division was too much for it :) I have one of the punched-card readers but the 372 unit I have never seen. These have to be among the oldest things in my collection also. And quite cool, too: core memory, microswitches and Nixies! -j
