Walther originally built weapons (and does so again nowadays). After end of WWII, German companies were forbidden to built weapons, so Walther moves towards mechanical calculators in order to keep their highly skilled mechanics in work.
Later version of the dk'Tronics case with printed legends on the keys. I also have an earlier version with decals instead of printed keys here.
Also see Andy Taylor's even earlier version that has a standard size key for space (like the ZX81 version of this keyboard) instead of a full size space bar.

The internals of my Atari Stacy, the first portable computer from Atari. Made in 1989.
The hard disk was broken, the bearings seems to have broke because there was some kind of sticky fluid leaking out of the hard drive. I bought a unused IBM-drive from Ebay, unfortunately it was half height and thus didn't quite fit inside the Stacy so I had to remove the floppy, and the Stacy wouldn't detect it (it worked with my TT). So I ended up mounting the old one again, but without the power connected and replaced the floppy drive, which was broken.

The Nixdorf 820 family had a unique core memory, which acted as ROM and was quite simple to produce. The picture shows a device for threading those memorys. Only the lit green cores needs to get wired. The system was controlled by a punch tape. There is only a German entry in Wikipedia to the system: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixdorf_System_820
