Hi folks,
We just got a brief note at ibm1130.org from a guy who spotted
an IBM 1130 "looking in a bad state in the street out the back
of the ibm edinburgh office."
I don't know yet if it's still there now -- this could have been in
1975 and he just got around to looking it up -- but is there anyone
in or near Edinburgh who might have the interest in rescuing it, if
it turns out not to be a false alarm? At the very least, it should be
inspected to see if any useful parts could be salvaged from it before
it gets hauled off by the garbage men.
Please let me know if you can help if it pans out. I'm trying to see
if I can get more details.
Brian

Assuming this is Edinburgh, Scotland, I'm not that close (South
Northants) but that would be worth the trip and I do need to get to
Stirling sometime anyway.

Thats all I know about it and although an 1130 is tempting, and
this one is close enough, it would be one to many.

I was offered the machine too. But with about 1000 Euro this was way
too much for me and the technical collection at the local museum
hasn't got so much money. It's said that this machine is in running
state, I don't know about peripherals. Maybe the guys from
cray-cyber.org could be interested?
