For the person who was looking for core memory beads,

noticed a few boxes of them while searching eBay for core

'Twas I. Not the teeny core memory beads, but larger hard ferrite
toroids usable for magnetic core logic use; i.e. the ability to put
several windings on a core.
FWIW, In my desk drawer, along with some other arcane stuff,I've got
a frame from what I believe was an old Philco system. Much larger
and much much less dense than the "40K" module shown. Still, the
cores are way too small for what I'd need.
