Found this on the LetGo app for 100 bucks. Seems pretty rare. I'm more of a vintage keyboard guy and so I was wondering what you guys think of it. Anything special?

It rings a bell. Early specialty computer that IIRC was only made famous by Regan's private astrologist who was a total quack.
Edited: Google seems to agree as the CHM is the top result....followed by Deskthority.

I saw one of these going for $120 at the VCF West 2021 swap/sell room. As best I've been able to find, it uses a 6502 to run real ephemeris code. According to the user guide, it has a calculator mode, on the off chance astrology isn't useful. The CMH catalog lists a spec sheet. I'll see if I can get a copy from them.
