Can you
imagine what the world would be like if NLS had gotten
into making
computers? :-)
They almost did. I had a big rack of NLS stuff - basically a 1960s
automated test station. There were several of those neato NLS
voltmeters, a printer, and a couple of chassis full of NLS logic
cards. Even with these chassis half scrapped, it started to become
apparent that they were a little microcoded engine, once running a
test program. Very high quality stuff. I wish it was still whole. But I have to ask; do you have any of those
voltmeters still
kicking around? I've been looking for one for a very long time. The
one that sold on eBay about a year ago went for far more than I could
afford at the time.
One of the early ones (sealed relays for switching) came into the radio museum
a couple of years ago. I can't find it, and it didn't disappear into my house,
damn it.
How much did one go for on ebay?
