By Paddy O'Connell Presenter, Radio 4's Broadcasting House A historic machine used to swap top secret messages between Hitler and his generals has been found languishing in a shed in Essex.
Volunteers from The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park used eBay to track down the keyboard of the Lorenz machine.
It was advertised as a telegram machine and was for sale for £9.50.

Nice one...am wondering if they go it for £9.50 or whether the price went up once it was known what exactly was 'on the table'...;)
This will have everyone scrabbling in their lofts/attics to see if they have something similar gathering dust up there...:D

I've a feeling that they only gave the tenner as they claim...but who knows. Rather slack of the seller not researching what they had, it seems. :S@ wrote:
