That looks like trouble just waiting to happen. Did they have you store all the equipment / pack it up and move it, to a dry location?

Not yet...I'm in favor of leaving anything older than me on the floor   :laugh:   I have a wattmeter to calibrate tomorrow made in May of 1954..I'll snap a pic..why do they keep old things around..oh wait, I'm an old thing

If it works, keep it...

yep, I used a Mod-28 teletype while I was in, it was an awesome machine.  Never gave me any trouble, no matter how much I kicked or hit it.  Now the IBM computer teletype it was replaced with, was a POS.
