We are an actual physical public museum, scientific and educational. 
We are hosted by the Computer Museum of America.

The address is:
Computer Museum of America
640 "C" Street
San Diego, CA 92101

I am there for two to three months each January.  I work on restoring 
the equipment, demostrate it and explain it to visitors.  There is 
also a 40 minute video available called "Don House Live at the CMA". 
In it  I explain the history of data communications.  My son William 
is studying film at Columbia College in Chicago.  I hope he will edit 
the video and put it on some DVDs to pass along to interested 
technophiles.

Our museum collection includes a complete DDS Hub, STC, End Office, 
portable D4 Carrier System as well as representative modems from the 
60's through the 80's.  We have over 40 examples of Teletype machines 
and other terminals and test equipment from 1923 (Model 12) to the 
Model 4540s.  We are currently restoring the Model 12 KSR and a Type 
2 Dataspeed sender.  At the museum is a complete operational Teletype 
and Dataspeed Repair Shop including 70 volumes of BSPs, all of the 
Mini Manuals, all the spare parts, card catalog, tools and test 
equipment.

The museum has a very interesting display now running on the History 
of Cryptology from Roman times through Vietnam,  including all of the 
Navajo Code Talkers equipment and examples of the quilt coding done 
by blacks to assist those travelling the "Underground Railroad." On 
display on loan, is a German Air Force Enigma and a U.S. Army M-209, 
as well as a '60s KLB-47.

All of this plus examples of all of the computer technologies from 
Charles Babbage to the UNIVAC to when the PC first came home.

If you get to San Diego it is worth some of your time.  We make data 
communications history come alive.

CMA and NADCOMM are open 6 days a week --- Tuesday through Sunday, 
from 10 AM to 5 PM at the corner of 7th and "C" Streets.
