jgeorge<p>Thought y'all might appreciate this video as the nail-biter it was for me. This is System/34 #3 in the restoration queue, and rescued from the basement of a home in Michigan. It contains the life's work of one of the first people to develop an "input method" to enter non-Latin languages with a standard keyboard. This S/34 is also one of the few that ever spoke fluent Chinese. Archiving this one is going to be a treat.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNhE3c_RBb0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=qNhE3c_RBb</span><span class="invisible">0</span></a></p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ibmi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ibmi</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/system34" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>system34</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/gertie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gertie</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/crustycomputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crustycomputer</span></a></p>

jgeorge<p>Quick Gertie update: warning labels reprinted, power supply fan replaced, and AC box wiring about half stripped to de-rust the AC box. Small steps. <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/system34" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>system34</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/IBMi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IBMi</span></a> (well, granddaddy to IBMi :) )</p>
jgeorge<p>We know how to party in Crusty Computer Land. Tonight, reforming 2.7F(!) of capacitors for the System/34. 4 of 9 done. <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/System34" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>System34</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/IBMi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IBMi</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/CrustyComputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrustyComputer</span></a></p>
jgeorge<p>Late update, I’ve been sick. Gertie the Dinosaur, the System/34 we rescued from Nebraska, is HERE! System and printer arrived 12/5. Both definitely rustbuckets from being stored, BUT all the actual electronics look better than I had hoped! Working on the system first, stripping it down to the frame. Gonna get the frame sanded and repainted, and then clean/restore each component as it goes back in. Fun times! <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ibmi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ibmi</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/system34" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>system34</span></a></p><p>Follow along the journey: <a href="https://gofund.me/1ed80625" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">gofund.me/1ed80625</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
