This does look like an April Fool's joke, however. That console typewriter looks too clean. Even more suspicious is that the console typewriter is sitting next to what appears to be the graphics scope. There are several pictures on the net of PDP-1s in museum exhibits that look like this, but in all the old photos, it looks like the typewriter was likely to be on a table attached to the CPU cabinet. It is also dubious that the teletype switch application would use a graphics scope at all. Also, the picture of the internals shows a machine in a non-standard white cabinet that strongly resembles the prototype PDP-1 at the CHM. The whole thing smells fake, but I sent the guy a serious response anyway indicating the value of the find. --Bill
