Side project - restoration of IBM 3278 terminal - shipment arrives

QUICK LOOK AT THE OUTSIDE OF THE PACKAGE

It was delivered today. The box is a bit beat up but intact. More importantly, I don't hear any tinkling of broken glass which is a good omen for the condition once I open it. 


BROUGHT TO WORKSHOP FOR FUTURE WORK

I will set it up next to its 3178 and 3179 brethren on a table in the shop. I have a 3174 controller and other equipment which will allow these to be connected to my P390 system allowing me to interact with IBM mainframe software via real terminals. 

First thing though is to unpack the box and assess the condition. I have guests visiting for a couple of days but when they have left I can get to it.
