Usagi Electric on youtube has restored a G15 if I

Harry Husky, the G15 designer, was one of the computer design pioneers.
He became a professor (maybe adjunct) at UC Berkeley. When he retired
from Bendix they gave him a G15 that he kept at home. It was, AFAIK,
the first "home computer," even before Honeywell's. I wonder if
Husky's
G15 still works? Maybe it's the one at CHM, which appears to be no
longer on display — probably sitting in a warehouse.
