I'm looking for a book that I rented from a
library in 1973 or 1974 on
computers. In the back of the book it has plans for building a computer out
of basic components, including a telephone dial for input. The output is
shown on lights and I remember there being more than a few bulbs. The
"computer" probably does nothing more than add numbers. I use the book to
research and write my 8th grade science paper and then I tried to build the
computer for my 8th grade project but could not complete it at the time. Now
that I'm older and wiser I figured I'd try again.... (mid life crisis?)
Take a look at item #270101277189 on Ebay, in the completed section.
Is that it?
