Sperry UTS-30

[retrogear]

Here is a system I've had for about 25 years. It's a Sperry UTS-30 with two 5.25 720k floppies.

The keyboard had sponge foam on each switch with metal foil. The sponges had rotted away.
I finally used doublestick tape with material cut from antistatic bags as a conductor. I don't
have pics of the process but here is the keyboard.

The terminal has a key to lock it from using the disks.

It boots it's own cpm plus.

I have boot disks for it's proprietary Uniscope os.

Hmmm - I'm still learning this photo stuff. Evidently limited to 5 pictures.
Not sure if last picture posted. I'll post more.

Here it is running Wordstar.

This picture shows how clear and focused the CRT is.
This has a new CRT tube I installed like twenty years ago when it got damaged in shipping. It has had very little use since then.
Insurance paid for it so why not?

Dang it. I'm going to try one more time for a larger picture. I'm a noob on this attachment stuff.


This CRT looks great and I want to show it off
