In any event I am the owner of an intact PDP-8/e that was operating once upon a time when I received it. A kind person gave it to me because they had too much hardware and needed a loving home for it. That is how I came to own it. At one point in my career many years ago I was invited to DEC to write code for a similar computer.
I am looking for someone to help me restore it to operating condition. It has not been used for many years and has been sitting and moved between many closets. I have its power supply also.
Can someone help kick off this adventure with me? I would be very interested in having a conversation with anyone who can make suggestions on how to proceed, who to contact, and if perhaps someone is interested, would like to help with such a project. I understand there are sessions help by VCF in this region, I live in PA, and I would certainly be willing to attend such a session.
Where in PA are you? LSSM has a few 8/es, and I personally have a few more, most of which I have restored. I've been working with, on, and inside of 8/es for about 40 years. If you're near Pittsburgh, we can probably collaborate. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
