The still from the "Mad Men" episode which
you associate with an LCM
Model 30 is entirely incorrect, for two reasons. First, the "computer"
in the episode was a mockup built by their props department from a
disconnected front panel (according to what I've heard)
Thank you for clarifying this - I (and others) suspected the machine
was a mockup.
I was contacted by the prop guys (although they did not mention Mad
Men) a year or so back, and was seriously thinking about loaning some
of my pieces (card machines that a model 30 would have used - they
insisted on a model 30), until they mentioned that the machines might
be "modified" to suit the production.
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
