> t the only maintenance I ever did myself was replacing nixie tubes,
but did a few times haul out that diagnostic equipment and replace the
circuit boards it flagged as suspect. BTW, our fanfold tape was paper.
One of my most memorable trips from Berlin was to "the Zone" to ferry my
FADAC to the main repair depot.  I got to see how the poor folk lived
(that is, non-Berlin Brigade soldiers), and I nearly missed the duty
train on the way back. We didn't have McDonald's in Berlin yet, so it
was a treat to grab a 'Mac in Frankfurt.

Yes, but you could eat chateaubriand in the French Officers' club for $5
US and buy Russian
champagne (almost as good as French) fir $.75 a bottle.  Tough life!
Been there done that.
