Obviously it isn't -- it's conventional core RAM.  Interestingly enough, it seems to be three-wire memory (no inhibit line that I can see).  It looks to be in decent shape.  No manufacturer marks, and "GC-6" doesn't ring any bells.


Well, it would still work for 1-bit-wide words, so to speak. One wonders what the application was.

There are a couple of Soviet core-rope memories up right now:

Shipping from New York, curiously.

The glass memory has apparently sold.
