That's really nice to hear about this. I'll have to tell my old friends
about this. Whereabouts is this located ?
There's still a complete facility in operation that's 4 acres large at
Vandeberg AFB with 22 machines using 32/55 and 32/75 series along with 2
CDC Cyber 840 machines. This is still reliable after 30yrs and used for
missile launch control in the TIPS system. One of my friends runs a
maintenance company that provides support to this operation.
I just heard from Al Kossow that there's also a 810 machine at the
Houston Computer museum.

We have complete SEL 810 with doc's, programs on paper tape, test
equipment, spare parts and other items. It was turned off for the last
time in July of 2006. We hope to set it all and have it running later
this year. They had another complete system but we had to pass on it.
