Hello. I have one of these that’s essentially new-in-box. itwas purchased as a spare so a few decades ago it was unsealed and tested, but never really used. I want to place it into service as part of an interactive computer museum I’m building. I’m wondering if you have any advice about exploding electrolytics or whatnot before I apply power. Thanks! -Bruce
HI! Between the 80s and 90s I had the opportunity to work with these wonderful plotters, now I have one and I ask you if there is the possibility of interfacing them with a modern PC with Windows 10 and to make them work again what software can I use? . The 7475A plotter in question has an RS-232 - C/CCITT V.24 type serial port, are there any adapters from this type to the USB type serial port? Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer!
I love to see these old machines working.
Welcome back!
