Wow that's really cool bit of kit. Always been intrigued by USSR/Russian tech, there's just a certain charm to it. It would be neat to hack one as an alarm clock, but that would be sacrilege. :o |

Awesome video. I was just HOPING that I would see it operational... maybe feed it some voltage and see if anything comes on! :) Obviously they want to be careful with it, so they will try to get an idea of what is broken, what needs to be fixed, and whether it will run "on it's own". It must be really difficult to get any kind of schematics for these things. I can't wait to see it operational and powered on! That is one elegant bit of kit! |

He's allowed to make money you know, that's what our Mr Jones also does. It is HIS property, but I highly doubt that he's the kind of person to just chuck out a very rare item. If you follow some of his videos, he and his team spend GIGANTIC amounts of time and effort, often many, many months, sourcing rare items, restoring them with FORENSICE LEVELS OF DETAIL AND CARE, and often donating them to museums (they do work for museums also). Think first, then type. --- End quote --- +1. These are the same guys who got that Apollo Guidance Computer running again. That's gotta be one of the damn coolest playlists on all of youtube. Personally, I'd rather him having it than the museum, because when the Museum gets their grubby hands on stuff, any restoration work will almost certainly be done mostly outside the public eye, and probably not with a view to making it work again. The Air and Space Museum is great, don't get me wrong. Been many times and it doesn't get old. But sometimes other venues are also appropriate for appreciating history. |

Any guesses for the IC technology? RTL/DTL? There's so many IC's and a huge power supply with toroid transformers having more windings than I've ever seen. |
