Can I fantasize? I'm reading some literature on IBM accounting machines and finding them incredibly sexy. It would be a blast to actually program one and run calculations through it. So I'd love to someday get my hands on a 402, 407, etc. I'm also now more interested than ever in getting more unit record equipment. I've got a 557 interpreter and an 026 punch. It'd be nice to have a sorter (082) but what I'd really like is some sort of accounting machine or even a calculator (fat chance of that). So, that being said, if anyone every comes across anything like this, I'm buying :) Worst case, I'll build some punch card equipment from scratch. That would be even more fun.
