Likewise, not a conscious collection but I do have a BR-2412. It's a
pretty interesting machine, based on the Nuclear Data 812. It lights up,
but doesn't respond to much. I really want to dig into it - soon, soon. I
even have some sample code for it, courtesy of the US Government!
I also have the peripheral interface unit, but I have NO data on that.

There is an old Vulcan saying: "Only Nixon could go to China."
Ah, old eyes!
I originally read the title of the thread as "Retrocomputing on Stock
Excahange".
So, does anyone collect Bunker-Ramo gear here?
Just curious,

Well, collecting Bunker-Ramo stuff as an objective would be overstating
it, but I have a 1960s Bunker-Ramo modem (Bell 202, half-duplex, 1200bps,
discrete transistor, about the size of two toasters). Not much to do with
it, as there is (or I have) nothing else to talk to it.
I'm guessing: are you mentioning BR here in relation to stock exchanges -
were they a major supplier for stock exchange data services?
