There is some interesting (and heavy) IBM unit record equipment up for auction on ebay. View http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1247&item=27… 14909 and click on "View Seller's Other Auctions" for the whole list: IBM 077 collator IBM 083 sorters (two) IBM 088 collator plugboards and manual only IBM 548 alphabetic interpreter IBM 129 keypunch Documation RM600LCC card reader The minimum bids are reasonable for all but the Documation reader.

Hey folks, There is some interesting (and heavy) IBM unit record equipment up for auction on ebay. View http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1247&item=27… 14909 and click on "View Seller's Other Auctions" for the whole list: IBM 077 collator IBM 083 sorters (two) IBM 088 collator plugboards and manual only IBM 548 alphabetic interpreter IBM 129 keypunch Documation RM600LCC card reader The minimum bids are reasonable for all but the Documation reader. It's interesting and relatively rare stuff -- shouldn't be let to go to scrap. Also, I got my Documation reader working tonight -- it was misreading because of worn feed rollers. I learned a lot about the these machines trying to diagnose and fix that. The USB interface is finished and working now (if anyone wants the schematic and code, write to me), and I was able to read in the system load deck for APL\1130. So -- sometime in the next few weeks the IBM 1130 emulator will have APL and a bunch of other old code I have here on cards.
