Very nifty indeed. Shared with the VCC on FB so you may see a few more
viewers from there! :-)

There are known backup copies of all my tapes. I hope to acquire a new
reader/punch soon to put my tapes online.

Eric spared us video of what was probably months of restoration to make
it work as well as new.

Lovely video, beautiful machine. Thanks for posting.

Are the tapes imaged and online? Watching you handle them was anxiety
inducing :)

And I had entered it countless times before, and made mistakes a fair
number of times, but as far as I recall it had never worked after just
checking all the memory addresses except for that time you see captured in
video *shrug*

This machine is very thermally sensitive, I assume it was just a transient
thermal issue.

Nice how machines from that era were well made enough to still work.
Remember that Lunar Lander game from about 1970.  Version I played 
was written in FOCAL and run on a TSS-8.  Should try it out on some 
kids who think they're great gamers and see how fast they catch on - 
once we were able to land without crashing we'd see who could come 
down at lowest speed or have most fuel left over after a successful landing.

Yes that’s very cool. Funny how the bootstrap didn’t take the first
