We are offering an authentic, rare ferrite core memory module salvaged from a Soviet ES-1030 mainframe computer. This piece of history represents the pinnacle of 1960s and 70s computing technology, long before the era of modern silicon chips.

Technical Specifications:

• Origin: Soviet Union (USSR)

• Application: Memory module for ES-1030 mainframe computers.

• Dimensions: Approx. 62 x 16 x 3 cm (24.4 x 6.3 x 1.2 inches).

• Materials: High-grade industrial metal frame with protective plastic elements.

• Quantity: 1 module per lot.

Historical & Technical Context: Each bit of data in this module is stored on its own tiny, hand-strung ferrite ring (core). By magnetizing the core in different directions, the computer could represent a "0" or "1".

While the capacity of this large, complex module is roughly 25,344 bits (approx. 3 KB), it is a fascinating example of engineering from the dawn of the computer age. Seeing the manual craftsmanship involved in wiring thousands of these tiny cores is truly impressive for any technology enthusiast. Similar modules were utilized across various Soviet ES EVM computer series.

Condition:

• This is a used vintage item.

• The module shows signs of wear and age consistent with its history in industrial environments.

• Please review the provided high-resolution photos carefully to see the actual condition of the cores and wiring.
