Some 20 years ago, I led the Computer History Museum's restoration of an

To all,
After several more months of delays - personal and project issues -
Cadetwriter is being released. [Cadetwriter is the official name of our
general-purpose, Wheelwriter-based Computer Terminal.] The public
unveiling will be at this weekend's VCF West at the Computer History
Museum
Jon,
The Computer History Museum (Mountain View, California) has the most
extensive collection of IBM 1620 items - hardware, manuals, books,
software, etc. - in the world. Most of the items were collected a
number of years ago when a team of volunteers restored the museum's IBM
1620 Model 1

Hello Todd,
I am a volunteer at the Computer History Museum. I led the museum's
full restoration of an IBM 1620 several years ago
(http://s3data.computerhistory.org/core/core-2001-03.pdf).
I am currently leading a new effort, the /IBM 1620 Jr./, to create an
operational, hands-on exhibit
