Wow! A  Gimix system - I think the only time I saw one of those was in an  
advertisement somewhere. Maybe at a computer museum. Treat that machine  
like you would anything else of that vintage, especially in regards to  
the power supply (caps can easily explode without warning!). Are you  
planning on restoring it?



If he plans on running them he should update the power
supplies preferably by replacing the caps or else by
replacing the whole supply if he has to.   Man oh man
I would love to poke around in one of those babies.  :)
 
Put a scope on the power supplies and look for any
AC component on the DC voltage.  If you find anything
but a steady DC voltage then replace the caps or supply.
 
I put together a functioning Mark 8 from a kit and playing
with these machines would just be that kind of cool.....
 
excuse me, I have to go lay down now. I feel a little
faint from all this excitement..:)
