Free Mechanical Calculators - you pick up in Bay Area

[Cliff Stoll]

Hi gang,

   I have about a dozen mechanical calculators -- 5 Fridens (STW and related electric machines) , Marchants (crank-style), a Monroe electric, one or two Comptometers, a Bohn Contex, even a green Russian Felix.  There's a disassembled Friden SRQ (Square root) machine.  Several other machines from the 1950's to 1960's.  

   All are in my backyard shed.  Condition of everything is fair.  Assume that all the electric motor driven calculators are jammed, although most are probably easily put back into working shape.

   I'd like to give them to someone who will provide a good home for them.  Ideally, you'll be able to repair 'em.  

   You must pick them up in person --  I will not package them to ship.

    I'm in North Oakland.  If you're interested, send email to me at   kleinbottle  /at/  kleinbottle   dawt   com

Best wishes,
