I spent Saturday at The Michigan Antique Radio Club winter meet. The first item I bought was a Sylvania Dekatron for $2. A good start. Well among other goodies I found a Wang Labs 320SE calculator! The electronics unit 3 of the terminals and the innards of a fourth terminal. 11 Nixies per terminal. This uses core memory in the electronics. Out of all the ham fests, swap meets and electronics stores I have been to this is the first one I have ever seen for sale. The seller wanted $100. I offered $75, Sold! ( When I was a kid we played with the Wang Calculators in the science building at ONU where my dad was a professor) I also bought a very large Weston power station meter (this is cast iron with a back lit milk glass dial) and 2 smaller brass cased Weston mA meters from him. It was a very good meet. I won’t bore the group with the radio related finds. I didn’t take very much cash as I was trying to not spend too much. Thank god for the check book and the kindness of My wife Maria for saying go for it! Tim Laing
