It's a DEC PDP-8. Many models were made. The one in the picture is known as a "straight 8".
Our club, MARCH, just rescued one in April.

Not quite. It was in a barn for many years. That's why we found an old mouse nest inside.Was it at the bottom of a river in the Netherlands, holding a houseboat down?![]()
