I’m playing with the odds on my memory but I believe that’s a thin Formica laminated press wood base. Furthering my dead set beliefs that this is/was a table tablet of some sort.
The emblem is definitely something I’ve seen before; I debated asking for a better shot earlier.
I just cannot place it at the moment. With your (and the original GRF poster’s) permission I’d like to steal that photograph and send it to a few old friends in more exotic industries under computer science.
I think it may have been one of those old computer shopper bible magazines that were thicker than phone books; that I saw an advert in.
Ask if I can gank that photo for me please.
This is one of my rare nostalgia moments. Where a post results in dozens of memories and the anger at thy self for not remembering.
I almost need to find this now. For my own piece of mind!
Lost,
Run with it . . . we all want to know.
Personally, without any top cover over the pad, the lack of bump arrays showing through the circle's holes, but with it's finished and assembled appearance, I'm voting for the digitizer tablet theory but also adding that it might have been an engineering "sales" tool for use at customer's "show n' tells". A visual aid to explain the working of a new type of contraption.
Or . . . .
Maybe ET left it on their last visit. It's part of a very advanced camp stove with the holes providing drainage for the cooking oil.
Need more coffee.
