Yes, I realise that was the claim, although I haven't seen it
confirmed. I'm not saying they're wrong, it should be traceable given
the id stamped on it.
Nonetheless, the selling price kind of surprised me for what is a
fairly undistinguished module (and I'm well aware of what core rope
is, however not many people are). Hypothetically speaking, were a
keypad/display module for the AGC ever to show up on ebay, it would
be another matter - that I would expect to go for big bucks.
It's just interesting - is all Apollo stuff going this way these
days, or is it just AGC stuff triggering multiple nostalgia receptors
(computers AND Apollo) for a certain set of people (not trying to be
derisive, I could be in that set).
.., the "NASA Rope Memory" mentioned a
week or so ago went for 1200
$, so what do I know.

You know that was actually an Apollo guidance computer rope memory
module right ? I was surprised it only went for $1,200. If someone
could find out exactly what it was from I bet you could times by
ten what it sold for at least.
