Ryan S and I attended from the Computer Museum @ System Source. It was fun to be there in person. We only won one item. We bid on: The Bendix G-15, but not aggressively since we have one on display at System Source, One with David at Usagi Electric, and one on loan to VCFED Museum in Wall. We won the CDC 160-A, and will be bringing it to System Source ASAP. Will be looking for a Project Manager to get it working after we assess it. The IBM 360 Control panel quickly got out of control: $189,000!. I don't think I even got my paddle up. We were quickly outbid on the Computer Space Arcade ($69,300!) and the next lot floored me (Atari Pong $20,160) We were not in the running for anything else. AFAIK the Cray-1 at $1,020,600 just became the most expensive collectible computer. The Apple-1 at the Henry Ford had been the most expensive, and Lot 10 Apple 1 is probably the second most expensive. Anyone know of anything else > .5M? Full results at https://www.christies.com/en/auction/pushing-boundaries-ingenuity-from-the-p... PS - I'm sure we threw away an Apple Macintosh "Picasso" Dealer sign from our computer Land store (lot 33) in 1985. Just brought $37,800. Bob Tomorrow will be more fun!
