Hello All,
I was just curious to know what was the oldest computer any of you
own. The oldest one I actually own is an apple II+ (1978?) and the oldest
one I am restoring is a HP 2114B circa 1969.
Straight-8 - 1964. Needs the printer's ink cleaned off of it and the
capacitors conditioned before I fire it up. Came with a DF-32 (and DS-32)
disk system and a DEC PA-60 (possibly some kind of R-series logic controller
for the printing mechanism - have no docs on it).
IBM 026 card punch - 195?. Not a computer, but a computing device. Has
tubes. Passed the smoke test; needs cleaned, lubed and adjusted. I have
the basic docs that were in the the pedestal. Could use advice on how
to service it.
