I'm afraid I can't take that much credit for it; the system was in remarkably
good shape when I received it, and all I had to do was verify that the voltages
put out by the power supply were within tolerance and fire it up. The most work
went into replacing the rubber belts in the old QIC tape c

They're still made, but the new ones don't always work in place of the old

I'm not sure, I don't personally see it as something worthwhile to
