The folks at the Living Computer Museum + Labs in Seattle were working on a restoration of
one of these, or another, similar Bendix machine. They remain closed (who knows if they
will ever reopen), but there might be a way to find some of the people who were doing the
work.

There's a Rob Kolstad in Colorado Springs who actually used a G-15 many ages ago, and
has created a simulator for the G-15. He has some info on internals as he was hoping to
eventually find one to restore. I think he has a bunch of software on punched tape.

Hi All,
I wanted to let the group know about a Bendix G-15 Restoration
project I just launched:
https://headspinlabs.wordpress.com/bendix-g-15-restoration/
It's a pretty intimidating restoration (do no harm and all), so I'm
reaching out to related sources, such as this group, for any
suggestions or interest.
WOW! I worked on one in 1973 or so, but it had dust get in and wreck
the drum surface.
Certainly an ambitious project, and even their schematics are QUITE
unfamiliar looking.
