I assume the console was just used for testing on the
ground or possibly it
was used in the computer's development.
That would be my guess. Where did it come from? Any chance of getting the
D-37 itself? Apparently, when the original guidance system was upgraded
in the 1960s, some old Minuteman I CPUs were donated to universities.

It came from one of the Government Liquidation auctions. It just looked interesting so I
bought it. It required an EUC! Crazy for a system from the 1960's. No hint of the rest
of the computer that I can find on the site, but I'm still looking (their search
engine sucks). I would love to find the disc memory.
