I *think* I've got some of these, or something very much like it,
stashed in a box at my parents house. About 20 years ago, I bought a
couple boxes of "surplus military computer parts" at a surplus store in
Omaha. Among the parts were several boards that look like the picture
shown on this auction; a circuit board perhaps 8x10" or so, covered with
resistors and wax sealed caps, with a metal "faceplate" on one end with
perhaps 5 or 6 tube sockets and a steel "grab handle" mounted on one
end. Does anybody know what else might have used modules such as this?
I will try to grab them the next time I'm out there, although it may be
a couple of months.
