Device used in Nazi coding machine found for sale on eBay

(via The Guardian) The Lorenz teleprinter was used to send coded messages between Adolf Hitler and his generals.  But after an eagle-eyed volunteer with the National Museum of Computing spotted the ad on eBay, the extremely rare, military-issue Lorenz teleprinter, more important a discovery than the Enigma machine, was purchased for the museum’s collection for £9.50.  The Guardian has more on this story.
