I have actually managed to buy no computer items yet on ebay, did get within 1 minute on one item. I would be interested in what the minivac did? There are 6 relays, one pole maybe used as a latch? I forgot what it takes in relays for a 1 bit adder, a single relay coil can be an exclusive or, foe example. My point is that I can still find relays for US$1 each, so building something like this isn't out of the question. The "speculation" value is less interesting to me... if I had one, under what circumstances would I sell it? Besides, a homebrew could be modified/improved without the speculation factor. -Dave
