Apollo Guidance Computer Part 19: It finally works!

We were are able to make the original erasable core memory work, under the watchful eye of guests more famous than us. This completes the restoration of the AGC. In the process we dump the historical content that was still present in the memory module and find all kinds of interesting things. Frequent comment answers: Yes we know about Francois Rautenbach and the Block I core ropes (https://youtu.be/WquhaobDqLU). These ropes are also from Jimmie but are not compatible with our Block II computer. Yes we are in contact with Fran https://youtu.be/UjcfepTdvZI (and several others) about their superb DSKYs replicas.
