[GreenKeys] [OT] - First Tube Equipment Restoration Project

[mwillega]

Thanks for all the input.

This is a Heathkit IO-14.   Actually I have two, as the first guy that shipped one to me, stripped all the tubes out of it, before shipping.  I figure it would be cheaper to find another one, rather than try to source all the tubes.  Lesson learned.
Anyway, with two of them, one might become a parts machine.  I also found a manual on eBay, so I think I’m only lacking time to get this going.

I’m interested in this model, because it’s what Nat Wadsworth and Bob Findley used, when they developed the SCELBI computer.  Among other uses, they developed an Oscilloscope Alphanumeric display interface, which I have already replicated to go along with my reproduction SCELBI computers.    Right now I’ve been using a period Tek 465 for display, but this scope wasn’t really affordable for most hobbyist of the time, thus the Heathkit project.  :)
