Getting the Bendix G15 Drum Memory from System Source Museum

In the previous episode, we discovered that our drum had unfortunately suffered multiple head crashes, stopping us dead in our tracks. In this episode, we rectify that situation! We removed the crashed drum, tossed it in the car, and then set out on a 4,000 mile round trip around the Northeast, ultimately stopping at System Source museum. So, come along as we explore some of the new setups at System Source, remove the good drum, and then finally install it into our machine back here in Texas!
