Jon (& Al),

Quick photo of it here:

... definitely not as interesting as the Jupiter keyboard, whatever it is - 
but would love to know what 'dejag' and 'vern' mean, and what its possible 
purpose was. I popped the case open and the internals are unremarkable - 
just an 8048 and misc support TTL. Most recent IC dates were 38 of 1983.

I did swing back to the dump today and they'd cleared all the electronics 
out which were there yesterday - but I'm 99.9% sure that I didn't miss 
anything that it belonged with, so it was either already gone or had never 
been dropped off in the first place.

cheers

Jules
