Spotted on ebay...
DEC H-500 computer logic trainers.
I thiink it is a reasonable price and there is the chance to make an
offer. Front panels look PDP-8 vintage.
The switches are the same style as the -8/i.
Thanks for pointing this out. I've had the student handbook since I
was in Jr. High (a gift from my step-dad's mother who was a school
teacher), and have wanted the logic trainer since. One of the last
ones I was considering buying was $175-$200, and I couldn't afford it.
These are, IMO, quite reasonable.
As of my purchase, there are 6 left.
One issue, though... I don't see any plug-in wires in the photo nor do
I expect any will arrive with the unit. Does anyone have any idea
what they originally looked like? Lengths? Pin type/size? I'm
anticipating having to hand-make a bunch of these.
