@tubetime Yeah, the only circuits I've ever seen that look like that are Seymour's. (If it's from a CDC-6600, the transistors should all be CDC-nnn named, because he had to special order them because he wanted silicon instead of germanium.) Tube🍂Time, but that's the only way they could pack components as densely at the time, isn't it? @tubetime the symmetry of the components and placement though. This was designed and assembled with passion. @tubetime |
@tubetime takes a really fiddly finagler to get these things kept up. I can respect a repair person like that.
