OK, for those that were not turned away by the subject line...

I have a small quantity of Western Electric 205B1 2400 baud modems
available. These were designed in 1961 for use mainly on encrypted voice
circuits, and were state of the art for at least a few years. They are 8U
open rack (23 inch) chassis with a bunch of cards with typical "alien"
looking WE transistors and discrete parts. My phone geek friend says they
probably are not RS-232, so don't get any ideas.

These specific units belonged to NASA, and were installed at Goddard
Space Flight Center. I am not sure if they work - I am waiting for my
phone geek friend to play with his. Maybe I should send him two...

Any interest? Make offers.
