Re: OT: After 70 years: ENIGMAs found in Spain Message #2 Posted by Katie Wasserman on 26 Oct 2008, 10:04 a.m., in response to message #1 by George Bailey (Bedford Falls)
I wonder how many other people here have an interest these machines? I certainly do.
I wanted a "real" collectible several years ago -- not that old HP calculators aren't a real collectibles, but until they appear on Antiques Roadshow, they're not going to be mainstream. Enigma machines aren't that hard to find, but they are very expensive and don't necessarily come with the best karma. So I found and purchased a similar, more rare, recently declassified (in 1992) but much less expensive Swiss NEMA. Karma-wise, it's been a good artifact so far :)
