I recall that Standard Oil in Whiting, IN conducted on-site classes for local high-school students on their 1800. This was about 1967 or so. Wasn't the 1800 introduced slightly before the 1130? I seem to remember something about that. --Chuck

Not sure why - maybe larger installations? -- Will

Re: Vintage Computer Warehouse Liquidation
Update on the vintage computer warehouse: I have found some very rare and interesting items inside the warehouse. These include a Systems Engineering Laboratories SEL-810 mainframe from about 1967, along with its Teletype model 33 ASR. I have also identified some of the IBM punch-card machines. There are two IBM 552 Interpreters, manufactured between 1937 and 1957, as well as an IBM 083 Card Sorter. Additionally, there is a complete Alpha Micro system with the disk drive. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Thomas, I'm interested in anything HP, SGI, early Sun, and pre-VAX DEC. Do you have any photos? What kind of condition is most of this stuff in? I've been thinking about visiting Computer Reset with a box truck this fall. Think I could stop by?

A reasonable question might be whether any of the systems have suffered water damage. Understood area codes and geographical locations don’t always correlate in any meaningful way, but I thought I’d pass that on just in case.
