It is the same one, and we (John Bohner and I) are the ones who have
it. No further changes of hands.
original asking price drifted from $1m to $100k to a negotiated sale by
John. I've been helping with research. Also my photos the ones linked
to on the wikipedia site.
It is in rough condition, but isn't so far gone it would be impossible
to make go.

We cannot get
on this list yet, but have an LGP-30 and Univac 3 which should
be operable. Also Minuteman computer is in the collection.
The Univac was removed from operation and stored. Passed to storage yard
owner, then to our collection.
Was this the one that popped up on Ebay maybe ten
years ago? I think
it was stored in trailers in the Midwest.
Has it recently changed hands? "Passed to storage yard owner" sounds a
bit scary (as if someone was not paying rent!).
Anyway, I remember that Univac being a bit on the rough side. I lusted
for it for a while.
