Nice to see your machine working so well! I like how it lights up from the

You don’t strictly need an inhibit wire to write cores. You can write the core

Good eye. It’s an HP 2116B. In the queue for restoration. We were starting to
work on it, then the AGC opportunity came along...

I found Brent Hilpert’s site most useful in getting a quick meaning for these

There is also a very useful series 1000 reference manual that lists most of the

Wow. Very nicely done.

Tried the discord, and enjoyed it much more than I would have expected! It was
nice to talk with members in real time and share pictures of new acquisitions,
current projects, and also talk about where everybody lives.

Did not find it either, but if your tape has SCSI I used Overland Data’s Depot4
instead. Google it up, I uploaded it on archives.org.

The HP 59304A numeric display unit uses similar technology displays and has the
complete schematics available (at least I have them somewhere). Also you can
buy from Artek media:

Maybe you can inspire yourself from that.

Anders,
I got the schematics of the driver circuitry from the HP 59304A documentation.
You should be able to replicate it. Will send you in separate email.

Yeah, a 360/50. When all the tapes are organized and color matched to the
computer, you know it’s just a photo-op of a fake data center, or at best a
real one with many hours of preparation for a beauty shot. Nice picture though!

Congrats on your panel! It is very impressive!
On the Russian resistors I saw, the value was what is written on it. If you
can’t measure them, maybe there is some conformal coating or corrosion on the
leads? You’d need to scratch that off.
For the lamps, it might be time to invest in a var
I see the tape sticking to posts syndrome in my limited experience with HP QIC

with isopropanol. But I had not thought of lubricating them for a 1 time read,
interesting idea. Or replacing the posts with ones machined fr
Agreed. They sure are pressed in, then riveted in for good measure. You’d have
to drill them out first. Not an easy modification.
