Why is restoring IBM stuff so tough ?
I am currently restoring a IBM System/7, not that tough.

Got my System/3 back up and running again.
Our 1130 only needed cleaning, then plug and play. The only tough parts
were the mechanics of the typewriter and one relay contact in the printer.
I have to admit that the machine had been stored in a very clean and dry
place for about 20 years. Even the 82 sorter just worked "out of the
box".
