Retirement
The 1400 series was replaced by System/360 and low end machines like IBM System 3 and subsequently the System/32, System/34, System/36, System/38 and AS/400.
The 1400s were officially withdrawn in the early 1970s, however some 1400-series peripherals were still marketed with third generation systems.
Two IBM 1401 computers are being restored to full operational status by the Computer History Museum.
