Hi, Mike,
I forwarded the original post to Keith Perez, the engineer who did the
restoration at LCM+L, when it arrived in my mailbox. I haven't heard from him
to know if he contacted the poster.
Keith had the machine working very nicely. In addition to the actual
restoration, he created a device which fit into the tube (Brit. valve) holders
to report the health of the tubes (which are not visible when the computer is
assembled) and report via edge-visible LEDs; these were easily 3D-printed and
cost effective.
We actually had two G-15s; Keith worked on getting the second into running
condition as well.
