Early Delta Data Systems terminal

[NeveroddoreveN]

Hi, I picked this up from government surplus sale, that was held at place, where I could not otherwise ever visit

Retired worked said, that this model only went serial production later and with different name or number

I wonder if any one has info, and could verify or deny claim that this is something unusual or rare?

Going to let My son to list it for sale

It is going to be a non-microprocessor based terminal probably using dynamic shift register memory.
Pictures of the board(s) inside would be interesting

Hi! I'm just seeing this now, and I've followed what I think is this exact machine for about a year now.

Do you happen to still have this? If so, where is it located?

Either way, I'm interested in following this machine wherever it goes, because it's something that's been on my radar for several years now.

Thank you so much!
Best,
AJ

Hi.

I have only managed to find images of this one.

I still have it. It came from goverment warehouse.

There were several first edition computers, I suppose, that because were financially poor region, but advanced and some specialized fields

like processing information, we ended purchasing several prototypes or first of series, that were sended to Europe, for various reasons,
mainly likely at Germany trade fairs, and it maybe made more sense, to sell those computers to some one ( Finnish government )

than ship them back to USA.

If You have any contacts at Europe, I could see what I can do.

Ps. if You see this message, let Me know. I will reduce price of one item at ebay, for like 5 usd , and if You purchase it, I can
send My name and address it is item number 147271619533 Finnish type 1930 stamp booklet

pps, I think rest of instruments were either sold or put under central national museum agency warehouse
