It's all vacuum tubes and solid state, at best. No way it'd be running today, and you'd never find someone who could repair any issues with it.
No, if that sim got passed to a museum, it'd all be static by now.
I know someone working on a 'lifetime project' of getting the front end of a specific aircraft he owns connected with its controls to a modern computer sim and he's about 30 years into it. He's had to scrap the project and start all over
twice due to changing technology and the ability to later troubleshoot it. He recently admitted to me he may never be able to 'take off and land' the thing with its real controls...
