I would be interested in the article. I built the
later one (E.I., about
1966) with 60 neon lamps as 6 decade shift register/counters and a rotary
telephone dial. This one used 3 12AU7/ECC82 as 6 buffer amps. The diodes in
it I used were from scrapped IBM assemblies. I still have some 6V lamps in
orange plastic holders from the same scrapyard, used on some IBM panels.
Very cool, Dave! I didn't know about that one. Any chance you can
pin-point the issue it appeared in?
I have the 1960 article, but I haven't built the 1960 machine (yet).
The nice case alone looks like it would be a coupla hundred bucks to
replicate today, but I suppose you could just make a bare-board version.
