I watched LGR's video...
At 19:30 he happened to catch on the video a Friden Calculator from the 1960s... about the size of a desktop computer case.
In the early 1960s, we lived in Dallas. It was also one of those periods when my dad was selling calculators. I can vaguely remember Fridens, Merchants and Monroes sitting around the den.
So it's entirely possible that was one of the computers my dad sold.
I *really* want that calculator, to clean up, fix up if possible, and to sit on my desk reminding me of my dad.
But, now I live 200 miles away and won't be able to get down to Dallas until September.
If *anyone* is in contact with the guy who owns that place, could they maybe just mention this to him, and find out what it'd cost me to buy it? Or just let him know I exist and am interested in it for personal reasons? I'd really appreciate that.
