Friends,

Things are "Booming" out here in San Diego.  Since last month we have 
completed the installation of the Digital Data Central Office (DDS 
Hub, end office), portable D4 carrier system, off-net access bay, 
outside plant repeater, and customer DSUs.  In addition we have 
installed a Teletype Repair Shop; set up with work bench, 28ASR bench 
machine (still need a gear shift for this machine) all 69 volumes of 
Bell System Practices  (BSPs) or "Technical Manuals",  and all of the 
Bell System (racing stripes) Mini-Manuals.  100A test distributor, 
164-C1 and 164-C4 distortion scopes, DXD distortion generating and 
measuring set, and four shelving units filled with spare Teletype 
equipment for maintenance.

Typing units for M28s (both civilian and military), M35s, M37, and 
M33.  Also spare reperforators for M28, and M35.  One LARP (600 wpm) 
punch is on display.  All of the models of 28 equipment are on 
display... In additon we have a Model 15 KSR and Model 35 ASR running 
for demos.  Soon will have a Model 31 running and the M14 strip 
printer and M14 TD and KTRs will also be running.
On display is the M33 "Bill Gates/Jim Allen" Model 33ASR, a wide 
carriage Model 38ASR, a Model 37 KSR (sans desk) two BRPE (1050 wpm) 
punches. A Model 4210 Magnetic Tape Terminal Unit, a Model 40 KD and 
ROP.  Model 4540 workstation with a Navy Magnetic Cassette Tape Unit.

In the works for future display is the Model 12 and most of the 
military field teletypewriters and TEMPEST units, M28 R-T Cabinet 
with 2 R-T units.  A Comstore unit for Model 40s using the 8" 
floppies, and many, many more items.

More good news.  It now looks very positive for our move about this 
time next year to the former Naval Training Center.  There will be 
room to display all of the equipment and get it wired and in 
operation.  After waiting for this opportunity since 1984 I am very 
pleased that my dream is coming to reality.

The combined museum Of course showcases the history of the Computer 
and the history of Cryptology from Roman times through Vietnam.

The museum is located at 640 "C" Street (7th and C) in the "Gaslamp 
District" of San Diego.  Phone number is (619) 235-8222.  The museum 
is open Tuesday through Sunday form 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time.

I toured a retired AVP from BellSouth and the infamous William J. 
Buckley yesterday through the museum.  Their comments were 
"Wonderful, I will have to come again when I have more time."

I will be updating all of the photos on our website in the near future.

God bless you --- everyone...
