How does the Hagelin M-209 cipher machine work?
Watch this work in progress for my latest online simulation #VirtualM209 as I try to show how the first part of the mechanism does it's thing.

Hi, very interresting video. I am chasing such kind of m-209 description since long time.

Would you have any idea of ​​the price of a device like this?

As an example, a good condition one including carrying case & instructions sold in auction Sept 2023 for £1,920 (www.bonhams.com/auction/28656/lot/180/a-hagelin-m-209-cipher-machine-american-1950s/). Not within my budget so a good reason as any to build a virtual one!
