Sucessful workshop January 14&15, 2017
Just wanted to write a quick e-mail to thank all those who attended the workshop. It was another successful workshop. It was a good idea to have the workshop in the bigger space. It accommodates more people. A lot of things got fixed and there was a lot of sharing of knowledge and expertise. Here are some phones from my iPhone which are raw, unedited and not the best quality (sorry I forgot to bring my Nikon): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B9SJLfGXYiG5LS1hMU8yX19fQWM?usp=shar... If anyone wants to chime in on what the worked on, their progress and what they need to work on next. -- Jeff Brace - ark72axow@gmail.com

And thank you for arranging. Nice to talk with the other people attending.

I got the straight 8 working again. Fixed by replacing two bad diode, cleaned contacts on one card and backplane connector, and tweaked a pot. Still to do is fix teletype and add reader run modification. Also make cable to connect it to computer. One light on the front panel is on sometimes when it should be off. Its either a bad drive transistor or connection. I added more information to the pages on this machine on my site. http://www.pdp8online.com/shows/vcfe15/slides/img29.html
