I'm lime green with envy. I'd love to get a PDP-12 like that.

Subject: PDP-12 restauration in center Germany
Hi,
in case somebody needs companions for cross-tests or likes to exchange
thoughts:
A few month ago we bought a PDP-12 and are restoring she since then.
There is no online-diary about progress (the maching is eating up all
time), but see here:
http://c-c-g.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=311:pd…
The 12 is complete with no visible damages and has some undocumented
add-ons (they always have).
Especially a MOS memory extension was plugged off very soon.
Luckily we could organize an 95% complete 2nd module set.
After console exchange (we had indeed a 2nd one!) and much trouble with
cpu logic,
we can now execute opcodes with DO and FILL/EXAM the core memory.
Contact me if you like to visit us, we're sitting near G?ttingen
(between Kassel and Hannover).
Joerg
Joerg,
Take a look at a picture of our PDP-12. It has a PDP-8/I next to it as in
your picture.

We also have MAI and Wang systems.
