There is a B1955 mainframe system on Ebay right now, with just about a day
left:

This is a circa 1980 system - it is sort of large. It looks complete, but
it really is hard to tell.
I really don't think I can go save* this beast, so I am passing this on.
Anyone in the South (Louisiana, I think) interested? Old B machines are
very rare, and very much worth saving (it has an interesting architecture,
too!).
Only if all of the moons line up will I bid on this, so if someone else is
pretty sure they will move on it, please let me know. I would rather have
a coordinated effort here.
*The high bidder (at one buck) is a scrapper - check out the auctions he
has won inthe past.
