I don't know why they decided to start the 548 at
$300. Otherwise, it's
some pretty nice stuff, but the shipping alone will be $1,000 on
everything. I hope it goes somewhere besides the scrapyard.
Scrap value, probably. There is quite a lot of nice metal in the relay
brains of some of those punch card machines. Probably not $300 worth, but
much more than a brainless 077 or 083.
