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.

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. #system34 #IBMi (well, granddaddy to IBMi :) )

We know how to party in Crusty Computer Land. Tonight, reforming 2.7F(!) of capacitors for the System/34. 4 of 9 done. #System34 #IBMi #CrustyComputer

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! #retrocomputing #ibmi #system34
