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 :

Strange, in the
text of the German machine is not claimed that it may
have come from Apple. Maybe a result of a mixup of the two item numbers?
I posted the URL for the Boston machine and then the next day
Heinz Wolter posted the URL for the German Cray. In his post, he
stated that the seller was claiming it came from Apple. That is
where I took that information from, as I can't read German.
