This demo is apparently using a bombe that is a recreation of the original. Does anybody know when it was made or how faithful it is to the originals? I recall reading that the bombes were essentially hand-built, one-offs, each one slightly different from the others as improvements were made and, what plans there were, weren't complete.

"In 1994 a group led by John Harper of the BCS Computer Conservation Society started a project to build a working replica of a bombe. The project required detailed research, and took 13 years of effort before the replica was completed, which was then put on display at the Bletchley Park museum." ...says Wikipedia
