Hi
If I was to build an electronic visual computer, I would
use neon lights. All the logic functions can be done with
these and the results are visual. NE2's can be bought in bulk
for a few cents each.
I built a relay combination lock once but I used relays
and doides to cut down on the number of contacts needed.

The other day I found SPDT relays for less than a
buck each in a
Digi-Key catalog.
would you mind to keep me informed ? Before turning to tube equipment,
I studied relays. In my way of doing things, strict register transfer logic,
a computer is no more general than a counter (on the base level),
so I built two different relay counters to see how the technology feels like.
It did not agree with me, so I turned to tubes. But still, I would find it
quite interesting to see what you do !
