National Elliott 405 Computer 0002

Powerhouse Museum Sydney, taken December 2006.

This was the first type of computer I had a play on, at 16 yo. Sadly I wasn't very interested in it at the time.

Where my Dad worked at CSIRO in the 60s & 70s needed a computer but didn't have a budget. They bought two NE's at disposal price on petty cash and built one working machine. After it was replaced they donated it to the Power House Museum.
