Hi guys,

I have an old NCR Century disc sitting in my garage. I got it when I was an operator on the machine in the mid 70's since the machine was being replaced.

It is not new and still in its old, slightly battered, polystyrene container. From memory I think it is around 4-5 MB, with 3 platters in the middle


I am not sure whether this is something worth preserving?

I am sure when I eventually kick the bucket (hopefully many years away!) then my kids will just throw it in the bin as they clean out my garage.

Any thoughts on this and what I can do with it.

I suspect given I am in Australia it is not economically reasonable to send overseas.

Those are super cool! I have one as well.

There are collectors in Australia who may be interested.

Neology (a member here) perhaps?

How much are you looking to sell it for? I'd be happy to give it a home here in Brisbane!
