Complete with tapedrive and typewriter. Operates at around 0.12Mhz, has roughly 2K of memory and each tape holds around 360K. It has 200 tubes, compared to hundreds of millions of transistors in a modern PC.
The thing that caught my eye about this is the typewriter. It's a Flexowriter by Singer. I bought one when I was 15 (it was 20+ years old by then). It was basically a typewriter that could read and write punched tape. I used it to print receipts for customers on my paper-route, and I was the shizits among my fellow paperboys.
