[inforoots] Unidentified vacuum tube module

[Ed Thelen]

A quick trip to the Deutches Museum in Munich should help.

http://ed-thelen.org/Munich/MunichTripReport.html

The Deutches Museum has a UNIVAC with plastic skins 
    so that you can see the modules, wiring and structural details  :-))

I bet that you  can find the exact module in there
    to match the pictures.

Maybe you could ask if the museum has the UNIVAC peripherals 
     such as console, tape drives, printer, ... in some back room.
