Pleas ID this IBM system....

First, congratulations from us :-)

Reading your blog, I'm glad that we did not win the auction. We simply do 
not have the time and space (and money) to handle this, especially the 
effort needed to get everything out of the house. I and Klemens both have 
jobs that require us to do other things besides the museum ;-)

Am I right that the 370/125 is missing something? At least there is 
one yellow unit that is lacking the top half (or whatever).

Yes, we can (located in Stuttgart, not too far from Nuremburg). We've done 
that with all cards that we got. Our setup uses the 1442 card reader on 
the 1130 and a program that reads the cards and sends them via V.24 (with 
a home-made tape punch interface to V.24 converter) to be captured by a 
UNIX machine.

I'm curious, did everything fit in a normal 7.5t truck or how do you move 
all the stuff to the UK?
