I have a Varian 620 L and 620I but have never tried to power them up. 
Also have a GA SPC-16/80, SPC-12, and 18/30.

I would really love to play with the 18/30 but have very little 
documentation on it. No hardware docs at all. It's
compatible with the IBM 1800 and 1130, both of which I have, so would 
great to get running. Some photos of it
are on my web site. http://dvq.com/oldcomp/minis.htm

If anyone has documentation on the 18/30 please contact me (or get it to 
bitsavers).

Bob
