Description

In need of restoration. Priceless on so many levels...one that it was from Cornell, from William A. Anthony's lab, who founded the first Electrical Engineering program in the US...and second, but not less important, that my mentor Jim Hardesty saved this machine. He donated it the AWA Museum in Rochester NY who sold it to a collector in Texas, who sold it to Bill Stone in Texas (who donated it to the museum). It's been around the country...and will be an honour to restore.
