Not sure yet but it's looking like my SWTPC 6800 purchase is going off the rails. More details on that later. I also sold some stuff, and as a consolation prize jumped in last second for this:

I've no idea what the deal with this is. I was intrigued by the copyright date on the boards, and the age of most of the ICs, some going back as far as the late 60s. I'm guessing it's a 1975-ish system with some later boards and replacement ICs, but who knows. The seller apparently had it checked out by their museum (they have a museum?) and they thought it might have been a development system used for one of their terminals or even the 4051 computer they did. She got it from the estate of one of their engineers.
Just thought it was kind of neat, and though I'd put it here in case others have seen anything like it or have ideas on what it might actually be.
