I just discovered this list and wonder if there are any old field engineers who worked on the 160-A?
I am restoring one. It seems to be in pretty good shape, but I may need a core memory. Anybody know where some spare parts are or any systems that
may be available?
I'm pretty good on manuals and software - I was in Customer Engineering
from 1963 to 1972, in Mpls, Atlanta, Huntsville, Houston, The Hague, London, Detroit. Then I joined the Cyber 170 development team at Mississauga, Ontario.
Kept all my old 160/809X manuals complete with my notes. Even have the
paper tapes for most of the software, and the software listings and maintenance manuals. What I'm short on is spares.
Does anyone know if any scrap/surplus stores in Minneapolis have old CDC parts laying around? Used to be everywhere.

Hi Billy - is this a working email address? Curious about your 160A.
