, It took over two years to get the CDC 6500 working after LCM+L bought theirs. Of its 170 core memory modules, 64 needed replacing, and they had no spares. “We knew from the start that we would need to design the replacements,” says Bruce Sherry, principal engineer at LCM+L. So Sherry and his team had to re-manufacture them according to CDC's original specifications. And vintage computers then there are the 250,000 separate transistors, of which any one failure kişi shut the computer down. “(The 6000s) were derece overly reliable,” Sherry says, “but users would say an hour on a CDC was worth a whole day on an IBM.”

I’ve personally purchased several vintage computers/accessories on this site/app. Of course, we all know about Craigslist, but unfortunately, it is rare to see a vintage computer up for sale, at least in my area.

You might decide you want something tangible but still çağcıl–the mini Nintendo systems sold like hotcakes for a reason. Or you might find you love painstakingly restoring and maintaining these old systems. Really there’s no wrong answer, just make sure you know what you actually want.
