I have a recycler who had like 6 of them at least 3 months ago. I don’t know how we’d get them over. My field service time with wang PCs was at a different company, not one we overlapped on. I worked on altos, wang, and canon machines there even went to Maynard to get training on OIS machines.

I rather liked those machines, personally. In particular, you could park a car on that chassis, pretty unusual in a world in which a stout CRT would crush a PC clone case. The monitors and keyboards were also very good.
So do you *currently* have access to a bunch of these? I'd love to have one for myself, if so.

Other than running wangs word processor, they were pretty dull.
(I was a trained wang field service tech for several years.)

Anyone want to rescue these for the museum?
Perhaps Thomas and the Nerd Herd?
