Rumor goes that JC Pennies is closing out department stores. I get a call from a construction company owner out in Pensacola, Florida and he wants to know if I would be interested in this big hunk of a computer. I said send pics and he sends these first three. Turns out its a 1974 Western Electric Rolm server. I was like wow at all the paperwork that came with it. Every single receipt you can think of it had.
The next few pictures are when I got it home.
This sucker had 256k memory! And the memory controller! I had never seen anything that old! What a new experience right now...Anybody ever seen one of these before or know its value? Western Electric is the original Bell company. I don't know if that would make a difference. Never had any experience with Western Electric before...
