Sorry about that... looks like I caused the confusion
since I was also looking at the Geman machine and
sent a cut&pasted link to a friend...and put that wrong
link into the mailing list message..
If you look at the pictures in the German ad - the machine
has been apparently taken apart - down to the screws by a
person not having much technical knowledge. The vector CPUs
are laying loose on newspapers etc - no antistatic precautions
were taken. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole! The Boston
machine looks intact except for a couple of dings on front covers.
This is the one I would buy...
The Boston EL is of course :
