OK I know it's not Apple and it's not exactly fully functional but a nice envelope came through the letterbox with a little white box containing...
An unused part for a Univac machine!
Sadly it's not from the Univac 1 (i.e. 1950's) but is more likely to come from the mid-70's but it's still amazingly retro. No chips but about 20 surface mounted components (resistors, a transistor (the big three legged kind) and a couple of diodes) on a very primitive circuit board. It's still in its original blue ploystyrene holder and original white cardboard sleeve (proudly boasting the company name and a dazzling array of undecypherable part numbers)
No idea what the hell it does, what it's for or whether it works (amazingly I don't have a mainframe to test it on
)
