About This Item

Great Circuit

Great Circuit is a clock timing board that worked many years in an early seventies computer at Sandia National Laboratory, computing who knows what exactly. G.C. was then mothballed and left for scrap out in the desert, literally in the sand. Because of this ignominious fate, G.C. wants to leave the desert and again be state of the art by visiting places where all things high tech may be going on. Take him to a computer store, a factory, a laboratory, a spaceport, or even just to your GPS or computer and have a picture taken while there!

Picked up today while off with our friends Choropleth. Took it along with Go Garrett Go since both had been sitting for over a month. We can think of several places to take its photo and then move on. Thanks for sharing - in the days of multi-layer SM boards - it is great to see a classic - sort of like my first computer- the Timex - Sinclair kit!
