I am afraid
most of it is based (obviously) on British and
European computers.
Why 'obviously'? I'm also a UK collector, but I think I've
got more US
machines than UK/european ones. In fact, when you move towards bigger
iron (minis/workstations/mainframes) you almost certainly end
up with mainly
US machines.

And of course the bulk of many of these are Asian made or made in Europe or
America of Asian parts! I know I have to get back into antique radio repair
most times to see items stamped "Made in USA". Many of these items are
pre-1960 as well.
