Every Wednesday afternoon at 3:00, and every Saturday morning at 11:00 (both subject to docent availability) at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA, you can see a restored-to-working-order 1403 (almost certainly an *earlier* model than the N1) in action, as part of a demonstration of their restored-to-working order IBM 1401.
