Hi list ,
came across this listing:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/354525985222
I just love the engineering quality of these early electro-mechanical
systems! Reminds me of the CDC 60x series reel tape drives.
BTW, not affiliated with the seller.
In my point of view, 5000 bucks is a lot of money for these, though...
Didn't you read the listing? The tape on the door panel reads,
"prototype". That automatically adds two zeroes to the arbitrary value
already assigned by the seller.
I agree these are beautiful machines.
