IBM Factory Process Operators Console 1984

This Process Operators Console was used on the production lines in a 1980's "Then State Of The Art" semiconductor Chip factory. Today it occasionally becomes part of my 6 year old Grandson's Space Ship.

It powers up, the fan runs and the early LED character displays light up.

The top 8 character display can be typed into on the alphabetic and numeric keyboards.

The factory control buttons do not work on the now-nonexistent factory in Fishkill New York :-)

NOTE: To zoom in, click on image, then click again, cursor does + - Then scroll (Back arrow to get back)

See the inside details of how IBM used it's own technology to build high end factories.

The power cord is an older 3-pin type (What was this? Can they be found anywhere?). UPDATE: Very Rare now: See This
