Could have spent a lot longer than just one day at this museum today, especially upstairs in the computing section where they have a lot of fascinating vintage exhibits to paw over

This museum ?

Looks interesting. I'm surprised that calculator's still working. I figured those cold cathode triodes would get finnicky by now. Plus it also uses a GS10D dekatron, which is a high speed. All I ever ran across were duds.

Oops, forgot the link to that calculator:

I visited that museum some years ago. It was fabulous! My takeaways were the (fully) analogue computer and early memory units using storage CRT technology... among other inspirational displays.

I can't wait to go again...
