Behold something amazing: John Blankenbaker (with help from Corey Cohen) diagnosing what’s wrong with an authentic Kenbak-1 computer from 1971. This was done before John’s keynote at Vintage Computer Festival East XI to determine the viability of a demonstration.
Today I got to behold John Blankenbaker toggling stuff in on a real, mostly working Kenbak-1 computer from 1971! I even shook his hand and thanked him afterwards. According to John, that Kenbak-1 just needs some replacement switches and it will be at 100%. It's not every day you get to meet the man who built the first electronic, commercially available personal computer!
