From the pictures, it looks like he's selling
6" x 10 " pieces of a
featureless flat panel that he claims comes from a
Univac; nothing
interesting about them, no logos or switches, just an alleged association
with the Univac name. Must be aiming at suckers who confuse ENIAC with
UNIVAC and don't realize that Univacs were commercially available in
substantial numbers.
And he admits to scrapping the Univac years ago, proving he's a heretic.
He's been doing this with various pieces of equipment (and I do mean
"pieces")
for a while now. I'm not sure, but I think he may be the same guy who was
selling stuff like System/360 control panels, etc, saying "man, you should have
seen the rest of the machine before I scrapped it..".
Pathetic. Just pathetic.
