Hi,
I recently bought a core rope memory unit from a Wagner WAC40, mainly because it?s very
aesthetically pleasing and looks good on display: https://i.redd.it/h9sb550uhnm61.jpg
However, i can fine very little about Wagner Computer, the WAC40 (and WAC12), or the man
behind the company, G?nter Wagner. Does anyone have any info on any of these subjects?
This links seems to be all i can find: https://blog.hnf.de/gauner-gelder-und-computer/
Thanks,

It seems to have been a very shady operation.
This article https://www.computerwoche.de/a/es-ist-substanz-da,1204762 suggest that about
120 machines were made.
?This article https://www.computerwoche.de/a/keiner-holt-den-computer-ab,1203597 claims
that the machine never worked, the seller disappeared overnight, and due taxation on
employee salaries were never paid.
Wagner core memories to seem to come up every now and then. Maybe ask the seller where
they came from ?
