Ok, time for a reality/price check folks.
What do you all think a whole core assembly, new, for an IBM 360 Model 20 would be worth?
Thanks!

Are you talking about the entire frame, or just the core itself? For most people,
it would be a novelty and would be priced accordingly.
For those of us with running 360/20 machines (I'm only aware of two such parties), it
might have some value as spares, depending on what's there. Care to expand on this?

Not a whole frame, just the core memory module itself.
Definitely a novelty, but not sure what a fair price would be.

I was thinking several hundred, plus shipping. Someone else has suggested several
thousand.
I also take it there aren't a lot of folks here chomping at the bit to buy such a
thing, either. :)
Thanks!

39 cents, but charge $250 for shipping.

What is the exact condition of the core plane? When I think of novelty
I think of broken item just cleaned up to look good.
Do you also have support components.
A fully working core memory module is rare, and of value if needed
to upgrade older equipment. Ebay is you best bet, for prices.

Fully working, potentially new-old-stock in box.
Nothing like that ever shows up on eBay, and there's hardly any buyers. Best I've
seen is individual core planes selling on occasion.
