Hello:
Three years ago I was in Seattle's Computer Museum (or rather "Living Computer Museum") and I saw the following machine hidden away.
As a lover of the Mark-8, I instantly thought that looks a lot like a Mark-8 computer. The high/low address toggles, and the "jam" button to jam the data on the bus. I tried back then to inquire, but nobody with any knowledge would answer.
Below on the left is the computer I saw. On the right, is a Mark-8 very similar to the original on the Radio-Electronics cover. Has anyone seen this?
Sadly, the "Living Computer Museum" hasn't re-opened since the pandemic, and rumor is that it's fallen on hard times, and probably will never re-open. There's always hope that Microsoft, or other corporate entity, could save it.
