1979, Fort Lee Air Force Station, VA
My first duty assignment as a Scope Dope. SAGE system
The computer system took up the entire 2nd floor of the building (think medium size wal-mart).
All vacuum tubes built it the late 50's.
Fast forward to 1983 when they moved HQ to Tyndall AFB and the "new" system was the size of a Coke vending machine. They had 2 of them. A and B side.
