I took a look at the Dewdney article, and I agree, it is a quasi-digital device, but not a general-purpose computer at all. I have been working on a "universal Turing machine" made from Lego technics parts, but I am cheating and using an RCX for the (...) (25 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
