Hi! We're the IBM System 360 Model 20 Restoration Team! Check out our blog in the link below to follow our rescue and restoration story!

@friedkiwi Hi, unfortunately not. We hope to have “in steam” days in the future but for the moment it’s closed to the public. We will be putting an announcement out soon looking for new volunteers to come and work on the project though if you’re local, qualified and interested!

Our #GigabitBroadband Voucher Scheme changes lives.

Darren runs a business from a village near Leighton Buzzard. His internet speed wasn't up to scratch, and he considered shutting up shop.

He now has lightning-fast broadband, installed by @EcomFTTP.

@CreslowPark Yes ;-)

@PhuckNa Hi! Sorry for the late reply, we must have missed this! Not much movement I’m afraid, mostly due to COVID lockdown, but we’re hoping to get up and running again soon! If you come across any IBM 360/20 software we would definitely be keen to hear from you! Thanks :)

Nice little mention in the Whitchurch parish magazine this month! @IBMSystem360 @EcomFTTP

Another little job to tick off the list. CCTV camera up in the generator room!

@stiefkind Thanks Wolfgang! Yes I’m rather jealous of some of your collection, maybe someday I’ll have some CDC’s and Crays in mine! You’ll have to pop over and see the machine when it’s up and running. I’d still love to visit cray cyber one day!

[IBM-S/360 @IBMSystem360]

So, it is with great pleasure that I can announce that the IBM's are back in the UK! Read our latest blog post here: https://t.co/3ymDo7sCsk

@weirdhongkong It's going to be a long, hard restoration process. The first point of call is to devise a restoration working strategy. Once we've agree the rules of engagement we will likely tackle the power supplies first as they're the core of the machine and can do the most damage.

In case you wondered what all the cryptic posts were about last week, this is what I was helping out with:

@stiefkind @computid @craycyber Thanks Wolgang! We're all moved out of the facility now, the next job is to get it on the truck and back to the UK. I'll let you know if we need a hand loading at the Nuremberg end!

[IBM-S/360 @IBMSystem360]

New update! Emergency Nuremberg visit to save more IBM equipment! https://t.co/vRHx6FjLDv
