Old computer gear like that litters the galaxy . . . I hope he keeps the Eico 460 'scope in working condition!

big grin!!! House of the rising sun rendered by a flatbed scanner!!!

Many years ago when I was a mainframe computer operator we had a tape that when you read it on the reel to reel tape backup units it played tunes. It was similar to the flatbed in that different data made different sounds. I hate to think how long it took to program that scanner!!!
