It's an IBM 610 Autopoint Computer...at least the operator's console for
it.  
Check:

It is a decimal-based computer...kind of like a very sophisticated
programmable calculator.
It is a rather large machine in complete form..the little control
console is just a tiny part of a much larger system.
Where is this thing?  Do you know if there is any more of it left?
