I mentioned this on the list a long time ago -
found it at a salvage
place. I wasn't in any rush to get pictures, but last time I was there
they said the place was going to be declared off-limits for humans. So
I got a few pictures of this olive drab "computer". Anyone have any
clue what this thing is? Just curious!? If anyone wants it I could put
them in touch with the salvage place owner.

Looks like a CNC controller to me.
I concur. The "Numerical Controller" sign is a major clue.
Look at the panel in
http://www.ezwind.net/jwest/whatsit/07220013.JPG -
indicators marked "AXIS LIMIT", "EXCESS ERROR" etc
buttons marked "TABLE ZERO", "TURRET ZERO"
sounds like CNC terms
It would be interesting to know what the blank (rubbed off?) button
where the paint is all worn away was.
