Kinda echos my experience. Unless the PDP-8 has been
"improved" I don't think you'll have any problems.

There may be no duties or tariffs, however you may have to pay sales taxes on
the value of the machine, so make sure you have paperwork showing how much you
paid for the machine, or paperwork showing it is a gift.
(This is the case for me bringing in hardware from the USA into Canada)

I had a similar issue many years back (re)importing a pinball machine from
Canada. It was held in customs for a few hours (they thought it was a
gambling machine) until I casually mentioned that it was built in
Bensonville, IL and say so on the playfield. No problems after that.

The RICM has an opportunity to get a PDP-8/M (built in Maynard, MA) that is
in Canada. I remember that there was a discussion on the procedure here,
but I can't find it with Google.
Can you either point me to the discussion, or tell me what the procedure is?

Awesome, that seems like the way to go, then -- just need to bodge the

No, *not* vinegar. Use citric acid. You don't want to force the formation
