Is anyone here bidding on this? 
I was ignoring it until Don House  sent me the photo that shows it is a 
Navy AN/URG-14. I don't really want one  (I'm trying really hard to stick to 
M28), but will save it if necessary. I  recall seeing one of these in the Navy 
lab where I worked back around  1970.

I  worked on some automated test stands in the early 80s that used the 
Varian  620 as the controller. They had huge circuit boards in them with a 
mixture  of TTL and DTL and a 5 MB hard drive the size of a washing machine tub 
that  had to be pressurized with atomic grade helium. I remember fixing one  
computer that had bad electrolytics in the power supply, a problem I’m still 
 dealing with in antique radios. The older test sets used model a model 35  
KSR as the terminal and newer ones used a model 43. One of the 35s had an  
intermittent printing problem, so I got the teletype shop to clean and align 
 it and it worked perfectly after that. Afterwards, the teletype tech told 
me  that the printer was so gummed up that he had to clean out the 
ultrasonic  cleaner.
