I'm dreading reconnecting all of the internal cables, wires, etc.  You 
can't see them (because they're between the cabinets) but there are 
*lots* of thing to reconnect correctly (including massive -5.2v and 
-2.0v wires about the size of your "little finger").

I never got the KL10 running (didn't even try).  It was stored in a barn 
and had lots of "left overs" in it.  It would have been a major 
restoration effort.  It's probably still worth it.  I just don't have 
the time right now for it which is why I jumped at the chance for the 2065.

I'll probably run TOPS-10 mostly and TOPS-20 occasionally once I get 
everything put together and tested.
