Looks like we're getting a Wang 4000 soon. Exciting! I hope to know more by next weekend.
Very impressive; I, among others (I'm sure), will look forward to pictures! Kyle
Commence bad jokes about the company name in 3... 2... 1... Seriously though, awesome score, hope it can be displayed in a place of prominence, and fully restored (which would be quite an undertaking). Looks like a very cool system, in either of it's configurations. Looking at pictures of the systems, the tape dives shown look to be quite interesting, not your standard 1/2" 7 or 9 track tape on a 10.5" reel, far from it, in fact the reels look like 3M/Scotch type 1/4" 5" diameter reels, I would not expect 3M 150 style audio tape on there but probably something akin to the 1/4" Video Tape used by Akai consumer Videotape recorders from the late 60's.

My second real programming job, back in 1981, was on a Wang VS100.
