I still have one loose-leaf binder for the 650.
I think the 'first electronic computer in New Zealand'
(
http://www.ibm.com/ibm/nz/ ) still exists in NZ. I am pretty sure
that this was operating at Motat (
http://www.motat.org.nz ) in the '70s
but was subsequently reclaimed by IBM. I might be totally wrong on this
- it's on my list of things to check up on next time I'm in NZ.
It certainly wasn't on public display at MOTAT when I last went there a
couple of years ago, and that'd be the most likely place for it if it
was viewable by the public.
