I got a fully complete Nixdorf 820 with the dust covers for free. As far as I can tell I might be the only person outside of the Nixdorf Museum with one.

I don't I could sell it if I wanted to. The drives alone seem to powered by washing machine motors.

Rhode Island computer museum, was fun retro museum. we were offered a tour of the warehouse. A short drive later, a warehouse full of old machines. Impressive lot. They rent them out for movies. It’s impossiblely hard to keep all the machines working.

Yes, they have a good reputation for a truly unique show. This museum is maintained by one person and his partner.
