I had seen this before, I thought the manufactor was US when I looked into it before. It would be a nice system to look at and see what is there.

The stantec will be saved as I remember and it may stay at technikum29.

I got this information from https://forum.classic-computing.de/...rechner-aufgetaucht/&postID=428608#post428608

Thnaks for an update on it. are you able to post that comment in here as it says access denied when I try view the comment

Only the interesting part...

What i totally missed first is the fact that there are 2 drum memory drives included with it - one still connected to it's controller;
one with cut connector cables...

My guess is the blank spot in the pictures of the listing is where the drum goes like in this picture. in the "report" roland said about he said that he doesnt think it will be able to work again due to the cables disconnected. this will help in some way but your still talking about understanding the whole mahcine without any diagrams and that is if everything was in perfect working order.

I read that, too.

Imo everything is doable, it depends on the amount of time and money one throws onto a project.
Hmmm, i will try to contact a person who i just got in contact with in UK. Maybe there are chances to find out further informations about these system.

@fritzeflink thanks for the update - danke für das auf den aktuellen Stand bringen...
