I am taking offers on the following list of vintage machines:
Sphere 1
Friden 132
Commodore PET 2001-8
Hazeltine 1500 terminal
Canon Cat w/Printer
LNW Research LNW80 + System Expansion II
Osborne Vixen
Olivetti Programma 101
SWTPC 6800
Polymorphic Systems Poly-88 w/custom keyboard
Computer Power & Light Compal 80
Byt-8
Intel Intellec 4/40
Intel Intellec 8
Kennedy 1600 7-track tape drive
Xerox 8010 "Star" - complete system, fully functional, boots to desktop

Is that the stepper-controlled drive that accepts only little (8") reels?

Thanks for the confirmation--that's what I thought I remembered.

I've got the manual scanned, I'm post-processing it now.
As far as I can tell, it is also only a recorder.
I'm pretty sure I have two of these buried in storage that
became very uninteresting once I figured that out.

What interested me was the 7-track capability. I haven't had any
requests for such, but it never hurts to be prepared for the oddball 556
bpi 7-tracker...

Perusing that maintenance manual, it seems that you're right about being
a write-only device, unless there's a special option installed to
actually read. The mainual makes reference to the option, but little more.
The tape speeds probably set a record--ISTR that the manual said 1.8 ips
at 556 bpi (!). Full of DTL, with some Kennedy-custom modules in it.
Eliminating the problem of reading does make for some very simple
electronics, however. None of those nasty read amps, de-skewing, etc.
Interesting, but that's as far as it goes for me.

They're before my 'professional time' so to speak, but I always took it these
"Incremental Recorders" were used for data collection in activities like lab
experiments, monitoring of remote sites, telemetry, etc., anywhere where you might want to
record a data-record per event or at regular intervals. The tapes then being collected for
reading on a full-capability deck and data processing.
Much simpler mechanism and electronics than providing a full-capability deck.

You don't happen to have an Ampere WS-1 laptop by any chance, do you?
