A guy who wrote a book on the Enigma Machines picked one of these up on eBay a few years back for $5,000. He brought it to Melb last year when he gave to talk to publicise the book.

Anyway, he wrote a little application that's a perfect simulation of the Enigma machines. I think he sold coppies of the CD for all of $5 at the talk he gave (just enough to cover printing costs), so it should be reasonablyeary to get your hands on, if interested.
