Wow, that is REALLY impressive, a beautiful job.  Although I doubt that 
I will ever be able to afford or find the space for such a fabulous 
piece of equipment, I found the pictures inspiring!  When you compare 
the quality built into the top of the line products of that period with 
what is made today, there isn't really any comparison, is there?  Yes, I 
know today's stuff has better specs, is smaller and does many new 
things.  Will anyone bother to restore an IC7800 in 2055?
