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...
Certainly interesting, but a quick inspection also shows a few bits
missing. In any case, are there any GE 600-series mainframes left
around that can actually interface to these in the remote possibility
that these can be made operational?
Museum exhibits or movie props.
