I intend to finish the Assmann 3002 disc dictating machine that's currently on the bench, whch shouldn't take too long.

Then get the Sigma 5000 graphics terminal back on the bench, get the ICs I know have failed and attempt to get it working. This thing is not simple, 300 or 400 ICs on 14 PCBs....

After that I've got plenty of projects. I've got a Ferrograph Series 7 that needs looking at. And maybe a domestic radio. I bought a Bush VHF64 a couple of weeks back, and found a Marcoinphone 264 in a local charity shop last week. Either of those would be interesting to work on.

Or maybe the R80 hard disk for my VAX 11/730...
