Followup... I had certainly tried searching ebay before posting. I tried variations of "old electronic toy circuit" to no avail. Even including "completed ...
Looked like they were bidding against each other. Even weirder: one of them just recently purchased a digicomp on eBay. Although this one was in very good...
A DC1 went for $400 last year. I don't think there are enough of them on the market to say much about recent trends, but I'd say that in the last five years...

Another DC1 just sold for about $130 on Ebay (item 6025381839). It was a full set. Box appeared to be a little beat up. Sad that $130 is a good price!! ...
I have a booklet, if the ebay winner is listening. I bought it in a moment of temporary insanity---actually more of a permanent thing---before I realized there...
Just a comment: the booklet and papers that came with the original DC1, as well as some you had to send away for, are available in the Files section of this...

Bill, Welcome to the group! New programs are always fun! I'd be interested. With the 3-bit standard DC1, I wonder how many unique programs could be written?...
There's almost 10 Mb free on http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/DigiComp/files/ if you can't find another place. Regards, Neil Morrison ... From: "wkustes"...
I was deeply impressed with the DCII at the tender age of 14. It was a marvel to me that the marbles just kept coming and coming until the calculation was...
