[inforoots] probably similar vacuum modules in Basle as Unidentified vacuum tube modules in Bern, both Switzerland!

Hi all,
I bought last summer 6 modules like these and 3  in pieces. Unfortunately by
far not as nice as the pictures and not renovated yet. One of them has
Eckert Mauchly tag the others Sperry Univac,
They were sold to me as modules belonging to the Univac II.
Hope this helps
