FYI, here is a picture of my 705 console. It was just recently completely lit up for the first time in probably 40 years. I found a supply of replacement neon lamps and got it all working again. It's as accurate as I could make it, using an original operator training guide to program microcontrollers to drive the lamps (or course the rest of the machine disappeared about 40 years ago). Next up I plan to do the same for my 360 91 console. Regards, Dan House IBM Distinguished Engineer RTP Office: 8+444-6173, or 919-254-6173 Internet: dhouse@us.ibm.com , or d.house@computer.org
