Went for a quarter.

I looked at the photography of the interior of several of the 747 
simulator heads, and there appear to be some with bare CRTs mounted on 
edge like the ones on this unit.  There are a couple of other "portable 
screens" as well.  I suspect when they were working on the simulations 
in the machine room they used these as temporary hookups to see what was 
appearing in the cockpits by hooking them up to the actual machines.

Also, I found another complete Evans and Sutherland machine here. Mr 
H*****t got it as well, rather cheap.  I hope as others have said this 
is not a scrapper, since a large price was paid for the 11/45 that buyer 
seems to have purchased.

The two bay 11/45 went for twice the bid, since it was listed as 2 pcs @ 
1500 each == $3000 total.
