After purchase cost, shipping, and cost of restoration, I would guess restoring that 7090
would be almost seven figures. They are NOT giving the machine away, and it will be
several
hundred thousand dollars to properly crate and ship it, based on what it cost CHM to have
several containers professionally packed and shipped from Germany to California.
Is a 7090 not significantly larger (in terms of
component count) than a PDP-1?
It is at least 20x larger. Paul Pierce's 7094 fills a large room.
