The folks at the Living Computer Museum + Labs in Seattle were working on a restoration of one of these, or another, similar Bendix machine. They remain closed (who knows if they will ever reopen), but there might be a way to find some of the people who were doing the work.

There's a Rob Kolstad in Colorado Springs who actually used a G-15 many ages ago, and has created a simulator for the G-15. He has some info on internals as he was hoping to eventually find one to restore. I think he has a bunch of software on punched tape. Jon
