A very interesting Craigslist ad. Way over my budget
though.
1954 VACUUM TUBE COMPUTER 7 FT. TALL, 700 LBS, MADE AT M.I.T. MODEL DUMKOPF
1 USED FOR PLOT INTERCEPT OF MISSILES AND ARTILLERY. $100K. CALL2025279501
I have never heard of this one, but my guess is that it is just some
kind of analog computer for mortar tracking that never escaped an MIT
lab. Neat, but not $100K neat.
