Latest EBay finds, including a real museum piece

Marvin, glad to hear you were able to snag all that stuff in LA! While continuing to scour Ebay for an an obscure minicomputer or a misplaced listing, I keep running across interesting stuff that I have no interest in buying myself, but I'm sure someone here on the list would love to have. Here's what I came across during this weekend's search: 1961 RCA 601 Mainframe Computer Antique http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2573945853&categ… This is a set of cute little plastic miniatures of an RCA 601 and its various components, along with a fitted carrying case. Used by salesmen. A really nice museum piece with an asking price to match. Ouch! antique computer sales book pamphlet c 1910 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2573607526&categ… antique computer sales book pamphlet 1908 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2573612402&categ… A couple of brochures for the British licensee of the Powers tabulating machine. This was the competitor to Hollerith who got the Census Bureau business after they got fed up with Hollerith's high prices. Powers sold out to Remington-Rand, I believe. antique computer Hollerith census book 1891 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2573617998&categ… A period reprint of an article on the use of Hollerith equipment for the 1890 census. RAF Tornado Computer with Core Store Memory http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2202934131&categ… A small airborne computer. From what look like date codes on the components, it looks like it was made in the early 80's, which seems a bit late for this technology. Computer Space Ball by Nutting Associates http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3253199680&categ… The listing describes this as "computer space *ball*", but I believe that Nutting Associates was the maker of Nolan Bushnell's very first video game, "Computer Space". This is just a troubleshooting manual, though someone else had the game itself offered on EBay in the last few days. VINTAGE 1970S SLASH 7 HARRIS COMPUTER MANUALS http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3566572833&categ… Here are manuals for a machine I've never heard of. Al, are you reading this? ;) --Bill
