This is a classic HP currently on Ebay, a decent 2116C
model. Item is
290099957210
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290099957210 :
"This HP 2116c was part of an HP2000 BASIC timesharing system
acquired in 1970. The auction is for the central processing unit..."
[ That was new one on me, a BASIC timesharing system. accessing... :

A beautiful system. Too bad about the distance and the
missing core memory.
