Sorry I don't have pix, but I have this small metal box that I think is a drum memory module. It has "Made in USSR" (in Russian) stamped on it with an infinite amount of serial numbers. It has 2 vaccuum tubes on it, located in a special metal holder. When I took the cover off, I saw this round dark red thing with a row of 10 contacts every 30 degrees, that could be rotated with an external axle. It made contact with a 10-contact connector on the bottom, which connected to individually soldered parts on top of each other. This was wired to the outside with a circular ~10 pin connector and another connector (I think it is for high voltage for the tubes). It is in mint condition and the even the tubes still work.
-What is this and is it worth bringing it to the US?
-How much would it cost and its rarity?
I have no idea where it came from; it was found in a bag with salvaged late 1980's era Soviet electronics parts (during that time food\products were impossible to get; anything of value-even wood would be salvaged).
