We should have the actual number of hour when the CHM issues their "volunteer"
hour awards. But my guess is: 3-3.5 hours per person (6-7) per week for one
year is about 1,250 hours - and the project has been active for over a year!
I also think there is a lot of serendipity that occurs when you have a group
of folks who have varied skill sets in restoration working as a team. I'm
confident that none of the individual team members could have made the
progress that we made as a team - even if that individual dedicated the full
1,250 man hours to the project. (And we all think we are GOOD ;-)

I'll come someday. Again, congratulations,
and keep up the excellent
work!! If I had half the skills you guys have, the PDP-7 would be
calculating primes by now :)
Although I don't want to downplay the skills of any of the team
members, the main thing that was required was a lot of hours of
volunteer effort. I'm not sure of the current total but I think it's
well over 1000 volunteer-hours. If you had that much time available
you'd probably have the PDP-7 working.
