Very cool indeed. I hope you fix the second system rather than using it as
a parts beast - I think the daisy-chain connection of machines is a
fascinating historical aspect.

Thanks Bill.

Yes, I agree Ian. I've got everything I need for joining them together.
My chief interest in this hobby is the historical aspect and a stand-alone
poly (although they can be used that way) is not how they were used back in
the day.
I think the problem with the second one is just old capacitors. Just a
matter of identifying and replacing. A good project for sometime next
year. This year has been a busy one with many (non-computing) projects. I
hope to get more time for THIS hobby next year.

Thank-you for this; it brings back some memories.
I visited Wellington Polytech late 1980 as part of a VUW school
mathematics camp (for want of a better word). At that stage it was still
called Polywog and wasn't the finished unit you have, just a set of
boards.
