Hm. I've never powered it up but I've no reason (hah) to assume it doesn't
work, my oldest digital machine is a Kim-1 from maybe 1976. Definitely
working is a PET 2001-8, blue screen version which is what, 1978? Bung in
the 1977 Atari VCS too.....

Earliest analogue machine is my Magnavox Odyssey 1, 1972, if that can be
counted as a 'machine'

(on the flipside, the newest machine in the museum is a 2000-ish Mac G4
'sawtooth' :o)
