anyone want a Burroughs adding machine? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

18 Jul 1999

Hey!  I've got one of those old Burroughs Adding machines, but it's the type
with the printer.  I bought it at a flea market for $1.  Does anyone know
where to get a crank for one?  Mine needs a crank (although right now a
vice-grip is working...)

ThAnX,

 Hi,
I've got a Burroughs Class 5 adding machine here, which I am almost
finished repairing. It has 10 drums of numbers, and 9 rows of buttons
numbered from 1 to 9. One presses these buttons in order to add, and the
result is shown on the drums. There is a picture at:

If anyone wants this thing, please tell me. It's not very heavy. Maybe you
can show it off at your VCF, Sellam?
