I was reading my own Terak web page, and remembering that
I'd read Doug Gale's history of computing at Cornell:
https://ecommons.cornell.edu/bitstream/handle/1813/36810/00_TheEarlyYearsOf…
and it mentions (at page 3.23) a "how to repair a Terak" video they
made there, and he claims it was distributed to other universities that
were also using Teraks.
Has anyone ever seen this tape?

I've not seen it, but as I have a couple of Teraks needing
restoration, I'd appreciate you dropping me an email if you find it.

Of course. If I find the tape, I'll digitize it and put it online.
I checked with Prof. Teitelbaum, no luck, I checked with
the Cornell engineering reference librarian, no luck.
I hope it turns up some day.
