?Speaking of tubes, television variety or otherwise,
does anyone know
if there are any tube-based computers, large or small, still in
existence?
I saw parts of one a few years ago at the Computer History Museum in
Silicon Valley but none that have approached a 'working' unit or
sub-unit!
Paul Pierce in Portland Oregon has a IBM 709. I think it is complete
but hasn't run in decades. In 1989 or 1990 it was stored in a
warehouse which we rented part of. Now he has his own building.
