Absolutely superb. A beautiful piece of historic hardware to own. Thanks for sharing. I’d never even realised RS-232 was that old. Amazing how it has stood the test of time.

You should get some really good photos, maybe someone could fix up a schematic from them. That would be cool and possibly interesting (given the apparent resilience of the design — it still works after 46 years).

I was linked to the video of the modem on facebook several days ago, and I’ve shown it to several people since. I can’t wait to show it to my dad–he did the BBS thing when I was growing up, even running one at one point. I’m not much of a computer geek (I used the internet but don’t really care how it works), but I think this is so cool and amazing!
