Work began this week on the restoration, which will be the oldest working in the world stored program electronic computer.
Volunteers in the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park - about 50 miles north-west of London - to restore the car Witch - computer first used in 1951 for atomic research.
A witch or wolverhampton tool for teaching Computer from Harwell, was based on a telephone relay station and 900 Dekatron gas-filled tubes, which could each of which contains one digit in memory. The tape were used as baseline data for storage and output of the machine.
The device is not the oldest electronic computing device, but is considered as the first modern computer is still able to work.
The machine was built and used by Atomic Energy Research Establishment in Harwell, Oxfordshire, and continued to be used as a textbook in college in Wolverhampton until 1973.
The machine was designed to automate time-consuming mathematical calculations on the Harwell site. Witch, also known as computer Harwell, can solve the algorithm at about the same speed as a man of mathematics, using a mechanical calculator.
and restoration work is expected to take a year, when witches would then be exhibited at the National Museum of Computing, which already holds the first electronic computer in the world, Colossus Mark II.
Kevin Murrell, director and board member of the museum, said its engineers are keen to start rebuilding machines Witch.
"For most of them it will be more complicated projects. This is the computational equivalent of raising Mary Rose, and they are up to the challenge," he said in a statement.
The museum asks the public and industry to sponsor the restoration of the computer Harwell when buying one of the 25 shares at 4500 pounds (about $ 7300) each. Insight Software has become the first sponsor of the restoration project.
