Bill,
I've heard that it was tried in the old days but that relays wore out
VERY quickly and they could never get anything larger than a very small
computer to work. In addition, most relays contacts have some chatter and
those caused false signals to be sent.

Is anyone out there actually tinkering with building a
relay
machine? The other day I found SPDT relays for less than a
buck each in a Digi-Key catalog. Seems to me they were $0.81
each in quantities of 100 or more; maybe $1.06 each for 25.
I know NPDT (N>1) is better, but for less than $1 each, this
seems pretty good.
Cheers,
Bill.
