When I looked at that ebay listing of "glass

described as "core rope memory". Obviously it isn't -- it's
conventional core RAM. Interestingly enough, it seems to be three-wire memory (no inhibit
line that I can see). It looks to be in decent shape. No manufacturer marks, and
"GC-6" doesn't ring any bells.
Well, it would still work for 1-bit-wide words, so to speak. One wonders what the
application was.
There are a couple of Soviet core-rope memories up right now:

Shipping from New York, curiously.
The glass memory has apparently sold.
