Well if you don't reasearch what you collect that is your problem.
While most things go for dirt cheap consider the value if any old
computer equipment if you had to build it again.Look at the univac
for sale on ebay ... More than most people can afford yes, less
than the cost to rebuild yes as well.
Point taken but even if you were to build a Mark-1 you'd really only need
the original issues of Radio-Electronics. You can get those for under
$200 on eBay or free if you find someone willing to scan the pages. With
the exception of the 8008, the rest is trivial.
