Ask HN: Where did all the Symbolics hardware end up?

• 7thaccount 6y ago
  If you hang out on the lisp subreddit you'll see some stories every now and then. There was a former symbolics engineer or owner or something like that who was still selling them relatively recently (iirc). I guess mainly to hobbyists. I've read that some people (the guy that wrote the Clojure sucks article) view them as talent amplifiers and others (Ex: Paul Graham) weren't as impressed. Maybe we can summon Reddit and HN user /lispm who owns one and seems to be part of that community?

  I think I've seen a few on Ebay, never for a price I could snag though.

  I think there is one on Tetazoo...but maybe it got moved to tEp?

  Private collections based on what I've seen. Occasionally things come up for sale, this page dates to within the last few months for example: http://watrophy.com/files/lispm/lisp-sale.html http://watrophy.com/files/lispm/lisp-sale.html

    Yup, that's the only one I can remember.
