For those curious about the equipment that sold last
week, I put together an album from my brief stop on Saturday. Let me know if you have
trouble viewing it.

On closer inspection it appears the documentation for that GP-4, as well as some of the
other computers, sold to different parties (the value being in the shelving and
cabinets).
I'm still losing sleep over that GP-4. From all appearances it was a turn-key setup
(in theory). Unfortunately, the auction site immediately removes closed lots from their
webpage so no idea what it sold for, or if it went to a scrapper. I suspect it was billed
as 'cabinets of aviation equipment'. Being 3 hours away I can't exactly run
over there and pin a note on it.
Some further digging on the net revealed a photo in the Motorola Annual Report 1965
featuring the machine touting Moto's new ECL logic. Apparently it was designed for
aviation simulation but included facilities for being a general purpose machine. -C
Thanks for taking the pictures! Now that I can see a clear picture of
the front panel on those SEL/Gould machines, I *really* wish I'd bid on
one...
Thanks for getting a picture of the TI-980 -- do you recall if photo
IMG_5542 is from the same rack as the TI? I'm curious what was behind
that door on the top and I can't wait until it gets here to find out :).
I hope that most of this stuff will end up in the hands of people who
won't shred it for gold content, but...
