A Sol-20. "Driving when parked" at a local college many years ago. A friend set it up with me for restoration. It has some mongo caps in the powersupply that will need forming, and it's a foam and foil keyboard, so that will be it's own kinda fun.

The stuff on top are schematics, logic block diagrams, price lists - and all the receipts!

Looking forward to digging into it!

Nice! Those antediluvian systems can sometimes be the most satisfying to restore.

A few bumps on the road, but nothing too serious. Figured out how to load software over serial today - very happy with the result!
