Gary,
How did you have 2 AN/FST-2's. Two actual separate machines, or one machine
with A & B channels, with the common power supply racks? Where was that
radar site? I had AN/FST-2B, S/N 0001, at 648th Radar Sq, Benton AFS, PA,
and I started working on it Apr 63. No test points, and plenty of "lights
out" cold tube filament checks.
73,
Rick, W7LKG

I know this thread is going to get tossed soon, but I'll throw this one in,
possibly under the wire. In 1965, we had two AN/FST-2 computers at our
radar site. Look that one up on Wiki:
