I had a Varian 620F a long time ago.  It was a whole bunch 
of wire-wrap boards.  It sort of tried to work, but was very 
flaky.  I was able to store some words into the core memory, 
but it seemed like every couple minutes it would zero out a 
word or two (I guess it was failing to write back the 
contents after the destructive readout.)  Without 
schematics, it was impossible to do much about it.
