Odd 60's artifact
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KokerJP3GTNMfWJZ7JV5kxvjQ4qNluZU/view?usp=s... Owner says: *"It is a kit, best as I can recall, from mid to late '60s. Can't remember if it was heathkit, radio shack, or something else. I can't find the instructions, but left side did binary conversions, right side played nim, and have no clue what the unlabeled wheels were for. Was stored double bagged in the garage rafters. Without the instruction I can't verify if all the contacts are still in place. I got it as part of a science fair project on computers. Let me know if vcfed has any interest."* Thanks!
