I do not believe we have a working tube-based computer in our
collection... Is there a working (or even semi-working) tube-based
computer in the US?

Cheers,

Bryan

Probably somewhere!  Best person to ask is Sellam.

Stan, thank you for joining our list.



Our museum campus used to be an Army base.  Some of the buildings we own,

and the rest will "soon" be transferred to us.  We do have buildings large

enough for the B-205 but those are in the to-be-transferred category.



When the time comes, we will need to do a lot of planning -- how will we

disassemble, move, and reassemble the B-205?  And how will we pay for that?

I don't know the answers right now.



We strongly agree that it needs to be saved.



Email me privately (evank@...) if you want a tour of the

museum.



Our current DEC collection includes the RESISTORS PDP-8, several PDP-11s, a

DEC Writer, many manuals, and assorted terminals and accessories.



- Evan (MARCH president)

Hello all,

    I joined because a good acquaintance of mine, Claude Kagan said he was

talking to MARCH to find a new home for his Burroughs B-205.  I run the

Burroughs B-205 site and Yahoo Group.  I am very excited to hear that the

old Burroughs may be saved!  Does MARCH have a building large enough to

house the 205?  I had tried to get the RESISTORS to help save the 205, but

found none of them interested in doing so. :(

    I hope I can help in some way.  I was a DEC system manager for many years

until my medical retirement (heart disease) last year.  I have lots of old

DEC books and hardware.
