It might very well be possible, considering the location of
the hamfest, and the fact that I've heard that NASA/Goddard
has periodic auctions (although I've yet to find out when
and where they are). The unit seems to have been mounted in
a 19" rack, since it has a rack faceplate attached with some
angle iron... the faceplate has a hole cut in it to fit the
front panel of the 1602...definitely not a military configuration.
