PDP-8/E Rebuild – Part 1 – Strip Down

A new arrival in my collection was a fairly clean PDP-8/E chassis. The box came with no cards but I have sufficient spares to populate.

First step in rebuilding it is to strip it down and remove all the foam gunk before moving onto reviving the power supply.

Here are some pictures from the strip down

The new arrivals

On Wednesday I took possession of two PDP8/M’s rescued from a skip(!) by Paul Williams. It amazes me that -8s still land in skips at the end of their days and congratulations to Paul on such an amazing find of no less than 3 PDP-8s (the other being an -8/E)
