It is working as far as I know. I will have to ask Gil who is restoring the con about it. I toy with it every now and then, turn the dials, but getting up in that conning tower is a bear for me. I bang my head no less than 6 times. My daughter who comes up with me has to step on my head to get down. The ladder is a bit far for her small legs. Then we busy ourselves in sonar listing to the screws in the water. Then we toy with the radios to see who we can pick up. Other than that, I busy in the engine rooms fixing, repair or restoring. Are we are in the aft torpedo room polishing the tubes and getting the ever present oil that always finds itself coming from some pipe and drips on the 'cutie'
But yes, watching the mechanical computers do it's thing is awesome. I just might take you up on that Cod visit. The favor is returned to you as well. I'm at the Torsk every Saturday morning working away! I really enjoy it.
