I thought this might appeal to our seasoned specialists here. Hardcore hardwired heavy duty equipment from the infancy of computing. Someone apparently owns this thing. There's a whole thread of youtubes showing it getting up and running.

He already has a PDP-11. Wow.

Great video. I've never seen a Bendix G15 before.

Super groovy cool!

I read that Bendix sold to Control Data Corporation, which was a big name in the computers industry all the way into the 1990s.

Thanks for that neat link!
