The back label says 8000-10A, which should indeed be a
Z80 system with a
hard disk. I have an Altos 1004 disk for the thing (and experience with
its power supply ;) ), but when I bought mine, my seller (not the same
as this one) mis-listed the CPU unit as having the disk controller,
which was not actually present - he used a stock photo to sell multiple
units. (I did receive some compensation for that). The disk controller
on this unit looks to be correct.

As a follow up, I did end up purchasing the thing, in order to get the
prerequisite Altos 8200 system board and hard disk controller to mate
with my existing Altos disk. (My disk is the larger sized SA-4008,
contrary to the 1004 I cited earlier). It is indeed a 8000-10 system,
with a Z80 processor.
It is an all-in one unit - the SA-1004 is on the right hand side of the
case, under the system board, and the floppy on the left side. Thus
quite heavy (shipping weight was apparently 72 lbs). I have not yet
disassembled it to check to see if the scrape on the transformer
requires further attention, to deal with the filter capacitors, remove
the useless SA-1004, etc.
So, if anyone needs SA-1004 electronics or other pieces/parts let me
know. :)

Bit thing not in listing is an SA-1004 disk. And I'm suspicious it is
an 8086, but who knows. Certainly has many serials on the back.
