govliq: what are these things? (Richard) - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

  Here's a representative lot:
 <http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=1686038&convertTo=USD>

 They have descriptions like "General Dynamics signal
 processor adapter
 assembly" and they all look like circuit boards with a
 regular grid
 and an arrangements of pins placed into the grids.  The
 grids are
 divided into areas and sometimes color coded.  Does anyone
 have any
 familiarity with them?  There are a ton of these on govliq
 right now.

 It seems to be some kind of test harness. 
The NSN hyperlink links to a page that identifies it as "AN/ALR-69 PECULIAR."
The 4920 NSN prefix indicates that it's aircraft maintenance equipment.  The AN/ALR-69
Radar Warning Receiver is used in a number of US military aircraft.  If that's gold
plating in the second photo from the left, these might have some significant recovered
metal value.
