It really is nice to see a running straight-8. I've seen running pdp-8/e's and pdp-8/i's, but never an original, so this is great. Thanks so much for filming it.
I think the content is so interesting that it deserves more technical care from an audiovisual professional, though. A wireless clip-on microphone, and a good video camera, would do this far more justice.
If only I were in England - I would love to help you out!

Very cool, but the LGP-30 is cooler. I like the green cabinet ones better, they match my shoes. How do you launch the missles...?

Many thanks - we hope this is the start of a series on vintage systems.
