My Apollo restorations talk at VCF Montreal is finally up! Enjoy, it covers the AGC, DSKY and Comms restorations. Great Q&A at the end, but degenerates into French Canadian at the end ;-)

The MUD microwave hams really make incredible Rube-Golbergish contraptions! Really high frequencies too, above 100 GHz. Worthy of top hackaday posts.
Lots of beautiful consoles with Twist-Lites and Roto-tellites, like the NASA Apollo control panels (Titan II museum)
@tubetime One needs to turn on âbranch tracingâ bit with the âslowâ, two cycles bit option also. It adds extra bus sequences with messages that clue in the inverse assembler on whatâs going on. Also slows execution to a crawl.
You need a functioning paper tape reader to nuke your enemy (Titan II museum).
Temporarily escaped from the microwave conf to see the nearby Titan II museum. Fortunately most of these ended up sending satellites instead of nukes.
@tubetime Oh I spot a Logic Agonizer!
BTW I found out why it wouldnât inverse assemble. It needs a debug bit to be turned on in one of the Pentium debug registers. Only accessible through the debug port, not sure how without the unobtainium HP âemulator probeâ.
Short notice heads up, Iâm the invited speaker for this yearâs Microwave Update event (MUD 2025), and will give a talk on the Apollo comms system on Saturday evening (10/18/2025). Come say hi if you are in the neighborhood. Itâs starting good, with absolutely giant cactus right out of the airport!
