Computer Space model topic once again *edit*
01/18/16 06:21 AM



A discussion regarding the model posing with Computer Space cab was talked about here on MW forums many years earlier.

A recent ebay listing of a flyer for Computer Space has a guess of the name YVETTE MIMIEUX that was the model doing the photo session, but the guess is likely not correct.


Some interesting early 1970s tidbit info that the seller describes of Computer Space cabs being placed at some hotels around or next to Disneyland (Anaheim, CA). Harbor Blvd. runs north and south and Katella Ave runs east and west at south side of Disneyland. I am guessing the seller is describing the more ritzy hotels that would be on Harbor Blvd compared to the small size motels that were on Katella Ave.

When ebay 1st started I was the guy who was selling Computer Space units that are family still had from the old days. I had 13 units and 5 of them were sold overseas to Japan - Italy & Germany / My dad Ken Blackburn was working for Bill Nutting in the sales department at the time when Nolan Bushnell walked into the building with his pitch for Computer Space.. We took a dozen to run down in the Disneyland Area Hotels. We were all ready running Computer Quiz machines and it was an easy fit to put them into the Stovall Hotels - Inn of Tomorrow - Galaxy - Space Age on Harbor Blvd.Here is a little piece of Computer Space history that I am sure no one else has.
