I'm trying to help a guy I met at the Maker
Faire that collects
plugboards. He has one he cannot identify.
There is mention of magnetic tape storage and the like written on the
board. It also mentions a "character
generator" so the system probably had some sort of CRT display. Could
well be military. Also, the plug-in
cable ends don't look like the ones I have from IBM or UNIVAC.
I put up his photos here:

Seriously though, do some of those wires say "Univac"?
