I don't know how many of you have read through the whole Christie's listings, so I
figured I'd summarize the computers that are in the Paul Allen auctions.
There are two auctions:
https://onlineonly.christies.com/s/firsts-history-computing-paul-g-allen-co…
starting Friday, and
https://www.christies.com/en/auction/pushing-boundaries-ingenuity-from-the-…
on September 10th.
In the first one, I see these computers (ignoring microcomputers and personal machines
like Tandy computers):
Lot 102, LGP-30 (and other stuff)
Lot 106, IBM 650
Lot 107, IBM 7094
Lot 111, PDP-5
Lot 112, PDP-10 (KA10)
Lot 115, Straight 8
Lot 116, Linc-8
Lot 117, PDP-7
Lot 118, CDC 6500
Lot 119, Xerox Sigma 9
Lot 122, HP 2100S
Log 125, PDP-10 (KI10)
Lot 135, IBM system 6
Lot 137, DECsystem-2020
Lot 138, LISP machine
Lot 139, Xerox Star
Lot 144, HP 1000
Lot 147, Cray-2
Lot 149, System Concepts SC40
In the second one:
Lot 16, Bendix G-15
Lot 17, CDC 160
Lot 30, Xerox Alto
Lot 32, Cray-1
Some of these seem like things that are not totally out of reach; I wonder if some of you
are thinking about bidding.
